You Have Summoned Me?
That's right. Take a good look.
I have always been this ugly. I never went to the prom. I frightened young children. And I was picked last for every barnyard game. Even when I got onto a team, the game was almost always Red Rover, and I was too weak to break through the link between the cow and the goat, no matter how fast I ran.
So go ahead. Chop off my head and cook me and eat me. What do I care? I long for the afterlife where I might become a fuzzy bunny or a cute yellow chick.
What's that? You wish to know if there is anything I'd have done differently in my life? Yes, many things. I'd have tried to be more of a leader than a follower. I'd have eaten on the good china every day. I'd have come inside the barn when it rained, instead of looking upward to my near-drowning. I would tell someone, anyone, the key to life that I've discovered. In fact, I will tell you.
All you need to know is--
WHACK
Thud.

How tragic. I'll never be able to eat turkey again. Or at least, not until tomorrow.

I'm with you, Citlali. I think that turkey went and got executed on purpose. Not nice.

No, man. He just knew you weren't READY for the secret of the universe.
Dude.

I hired an animal spirit medium to commune with the turkey and find out what he was going to say.
It was,
"Don't go through life with a foreskin hanging off your beak."
Practical, yet disappointing really.

I thought it was 42.

PB, with all the animal murder you indulge in, you prolly have that spirit medium on speed dial.
One of the secretaries here was talking up a restaurant that serves bison and venison. I thought of you.

Dana, it probably WOULD have been 42 if turkeys could read.

I was listening to a man on the TV yesterday and he raises "Heritage Turkeys," that run around free, while their commercially bred, agro-industry cousins are forced to live lives of unspeakable desperation--they welcome the ax when it falls.
So I think we have to know whether the turkey you reference is joyously free range or one that has lived a life of complete and utter despair. It would make a difference, wouldn't it? The free turkey would sound like Julie Andrews singing Mary Poppins, while the Butterball product would sound a lot like Raskolnikov
in one of his down moments.
Anyway, I didn't know anything about the psychological state of the turkey we had yesterday, but he/she went very well with home-made cranberry sauce.

As always, I can count on you for a laugh, Tony.
