I think pigs can fly, right? What about flying toasters?

[Sacajaweau]

They can...but not far. There was a video showing them flying. I watched it a couple years back.

[Jim W N]

Actually wild turkeys fly all around the place.

[AppyPappy]

A bunch flew into our backyard last week

Pigs fly real good, but they land real bad.(modification of a line from F-Troop)

Do they fly or do they somehow just sort of hop up branch to branch on trees and then glide down from height? I recently witnessed five turkeys coming down one at a time out of a tree just sort of gliding to the ground.

That show was really funny and that episode was one of the funniest.....if not the funniest...

Oh, the humanity

Okay, promise to not make any mention of Jennifer versus Bailey debates, lol.

Saw the original broadcast...laughed so hard I could barely breathe. Watch every year as a Thanksgiving tradition.

That just never gets old

The turkeys are hitting the ground like bags of wet cement!

That episode is in the top five funniest episodes of any show for all time

IIRC, in 1998 lamps and ashtrays could fly.

Especially around a president.

I am sure that the M*A*S*H episode “The General Flipped at Dawn” (the early Harry Morgan appearance) would be in a list like that as well.

They can take off from the ground and get 20-30 feet in the air and fly for maybe 30 seconds but that’s their limit. Just enough to get away from something.
