"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could FLY!"

///////////////

you mean pigs don't you?

No, probably turkeys, from an ancient episode of WKRP. I think said turkeys were thrown from a window and ... well, failed to fly.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

They were "released" from a helicopter hovering over a busy shopping center in a "Turkey give-a-way" promotion by WKRP. As their Ace Reporter Les Nesman reported on the scene of the fiasco, "The turkeys are hitting the ground likes bags of wet cement! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh the humanity!"

The episode ended as Mr. Carlson returns to the station and says to Andy, "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

not sure I understand. wild turkeys can fly short distances--though they prefer to walk.

domesticated turkeys on large turkey farms are generally penned up. on small farms domesticated free range turkeys prefer to rooste in trees and such... which takes a short flight.
