So he was going to anger management class...hmmmmmm, maybe he needs to watch Adam Sandler's movie 'Anger Management' and then he can listen to this little Thanksgiving ditty by Adam Sandler:

"The Thanksgiving Song"

"They wanna hear the thanksgiving song! All right.."

"This is uhh, This is the Thanksgiving Song"

"I hope you enjoy it."

[Starts playing]

Love to eat turkey

Love to eat turkey

[Shout from Crowd:] "I love you Adam!"

[Adam Sandler:] "Ohhh, I love you!"

Love to eat turkey

'Cause it's good

Love to eat turkey

Like a good boy should

'Cause it's turkey to eat

So good

[Adam Sandler:] "That clappin's messing my head up man. I appreciate it.

But I was trying to think of the next line and all I hear is clapping.

Here we go... Thanks anyways"

Turkey for me

Turkey for you

Let's eat the turkey

In my big brown shoe

Love to eat the turkey

At the table

I once saw a movie

With Betty Grable

Eat that turkey

All night long

Fifty million Elvis fans

Can't be wrong

Turkey lurkey doo and

Turkey lurkey dap

I eat that turkey

Then I take a nap

Thanksgiving is a special night

Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite

That's right

Turkey with gravy and cranberry

Can't believe the Mets traded Darryl Strawberry

Turkey for you and

Turkey for me

Can't believe Tyson

Gave that girl V.D.

White meat, dark meat

You just can't lose

I fell off my moped

And I got a bruise

Turkey in the oven

And the buns in the toaster

I'll never take down

My Cheryl Tiegs poster

Wrap the turkey up

In aluminum foil

My brother likes to masturbate

With baby oil

Turkey and sweet potato pie

Sammy Davis Jr.

Only had one eye

Turkey for the girls and

Turkey for the boys

My favorite kind of pants

Are corduroys

Gobble gobble goo and

Gobble gobble gickel

I wish turkey

Only cost a nickel

Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

I wish this guy would move to Massachusetts. There are some turkeys there, mostly in Congress.

They will fly when in the road if a car comes to close so he had to have really had pedal to the metal. I have wild turkeys all over the place. They can fly quite high in fact as they roost in the big pines.

Apparently the turkeys in Kansas think they own the road as I've had to slow down to almost nothing while driving through a lot of them.

I was driving home from work one morning. Kenoza Street in Haverhill, a rather wooded area and there were 8 Turkey's sitting in the road, birds not Moonbats attending Northern Essex CC, my F-350 had big fat tires, the rest is history.

Was it a wild turkey or a farm-raised turkey? If the latter, it *might* have been too heavy to fly. I'm inclined to think it was the latter -- the farmer is pressing charges?

Well, it's Vermont -- I suppose it could be environmentalists pressing charges...but if you can just shoot a wild turkey you ought to be able to run one over.

Hmmm...if there's a "turkey crossing" sign or something then I can see pressing charges even if it's legal to shoot wild turkey.

but if you can just shoot a wild turkey

Only during turkey hunting season can you shoot one.

Farm raised turkeys are normally behind fencing and too fat to do anything but prepare for the oven unless free range and a pet.

Wild turkeys in New England are brown and thinner, but can get quite large and over the past several years have really multiplied in population. They fly to safety to avoid predators and can run quite fast.

If the farmer is pressing charges then had to be the fat white ones but are generally "chicken fenced in". It's those guinea hens that come out into the road and don't move!

Still you don't go running down anything..because you can. Sounds like the driver has some emotional issues and this is his form of "country" road rage.

Maybe the turkey killer could be released to run down some country back road and this farmer could go after him with the John Deere to see how he likes it. Little country Justice.
