Hey, I got to fly with my civil servant sister on training trips from Seattle to San Diego and to Washington DC. (I paid my own airfare.) There haven’t been very many of those trips lately.

An oldie but a goodie. Are they jive turkeys?

He wasn’t begin wry – he didn’t want an eagle as the symbol, it’s the old Roman symbol, a symbol of war and conquest. The turkey, at the time it was still a wild bird, was famous for being clever at avoiding hunters (like the colonists evading the British?) and it could fly. I think domestic turkeys probably can fly too, but why bother, they’re in a shed, and food’s very handy – no need to go look for it.

We get a flock of 6 or 8 adults near our house, (with a ton of little ones in late spring), the coyotes won’t cross the fence line because of our dog. She’s scared of the turkeys and they’ve figured that out.

Sorry he did not speak the truth. The bulding in pannel 5 is the Capitol Bulding not The White House. So what he said was just being a moron TROLL who does not know the diffrence between the Capitol and The White House. Funny the ony people I hear or read uing Bush’s name is The Right wingnuts. LOL Learn about the Buildings in DC before you make a fool of yourself agai.

We might have had turkey scouts and golfers bragging about shooting one on a difficult hole, and the whole language would have changed.
