Who knew...

... that chickens could fly?

But according to Wendy Almeida's blog today, I guess it's true!

I've said it all along. Never say you've seen it all. Because you ain't!

The whole chicken flying thing reminds of the famous flying turkey episode from "WKRP in Cincinnati", when Herb Tarlek dropped live turkeys out of an airplane over a busy shopping center as a Thanksgiving promotion for the radio station.

On the ground it was pure chaos as a horrified Les Nessman reported that "the turkeys are hitting the ground like bags of wet cement!"

The gruesome scene ended with Arthur Carlson, the station manager, mumbling something like, "On my honor, I thought turkeys could fly."

And that's where I think I peed myself.

I didn't watch that show but the episode sounds great. I never thought chickens could fly until I saw our own do it. You're right, you learn something new - if not obscure - every day :-)

Dribble boy! Check for shoe stains! Watched a turkey fly out in front of us this past week in Georgia! How those small branches hold those big birds, I'll never know! :-)
