The Turkey and the Truck
March 27th, 2009On my way into work I saw a turkey, on the street, picking a fight with a delivery van. The turkey was standing in the road and the delivery driver was getting exasperated waiting for the turkey to move. So, the driver climbed out and started waving his arms to scare the bird away. The turkey just walked around the corner of the van, and as soon as the driver climbed back into the drivers side, walked back in front of the van!
So, the driver climbs out again and waves his arms and starts shouting to scare the bird away. The turkey walks over to the side of the van and starts hissing and pecking at it’s tires. Honestly. The damn bird is pissed and attacking the back-end of a delivery van. The cars nearby are honking their horns – probably to try and help shew the bird away, and in frustration at having to wait at the light. The turkey ignores everyone and keeps hissing and striking at the van’s tires.
Eventually the van just drives away, and the rest of the cars make a careful circumlocution around the turkey. What an interesting commute it’s been!
