Bird flu broke out on a farm next to us at home resulting in the culling of 6500 turkeys, now it has spread to neighbouring farms and yesterday 22000 more turkeys were killed.

what are we going to have for christmas lunch? spagetti will do me but not parents and grandparents.

Thanksgiving Turkey. . . Christmas Ham.

There's your choice buddy, unless some sort of pig flu breaks out. Then I think you're stuck with sketti.

you'd be surprised how many turkeys you can fit into a single gas chamber.

I thought you might be talking about the fact that there is not going to be any snow this year for Christmas again.

Damn straight...

Did you know that if a Turkey looks up during a heavy rain storm it can drown? The animals are SO STUPID they don't even realize that their mouths are filling with water and they should put their head down so they can breathe.

How did natural selection work for them?
