Police are reporting a number of car-turkey collisions lately. There was a report a month or so ago of a woman driving down the highway, minding her own business, when a turkey attempted a break-in by way of her front windshield, of all things. You can imagine her shock as the turkey launched this assault. The cowardly turkey wouldn t try such a stunt in broad daylight, of course. And don t try to tell me it was an accident.
State Police say there are too many wild turkeys up here.
I think a couple of stiff fines, and maybe they d calm down. People who know turkeys say they re smarter than people give them credit for. I wouldn t be surprised. Sure, it has to pay its lawyer, but after that bill, it s all gravy. Turkeys are carving out a pretty nice living for themselves, feathering their nests at our expense.
