Reliving those Thanksgiving memories from her childhood. I remember when Dad used to get blitzed and we’d go sailing through the parking lots in the Oldsmobile looking for turkeys. Those are some special memories for many of us.

Ah but how about the (fictional) time in Cincinnati when a low rated AM rock station decided to drop turkeys* only to find they couldn’t fly? “As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.”—WKRP in Cincinnati

*—supposedly inspired by a real incident in Atlanta?
Wiki. on WKRP:
“Mr. Carlson decides to take a more hands-on managerial approach by doing the greatest Thanksgiving promotion in radio history — dropping live turkeys from a helicopter.
Note- In 1997 TV Guide ranked this episode number 40 on its ‘100 Greatest Episodes of All Time’ list.”
