WOBURN, MA -- A wild turkey is causing problems for almost all the residents of a Woburn, Massachusetts neighborhood, but one woman is accepting him with open arms.

"Tom" turkey, who appears to weigh in at about 20 pounds, has been so fearsome that some residents are afraid to leave their homes.

Police have tried to run "Tom" off, but the turkey continues to return.

Sharyn Newell, however, has befriended the bird and trained him to climb up her back and onto her head.

I think its just a stupid turkey stunt. Next, turkeys will be bungy jumping. Turkey who just want attention, publicity. They just want to get their names in the papers. I don't know what's wrong with these turkeys these days.

Mr Carlson: As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Thank you for fulfilling the turkey rule on FR. It's required almost as strongly as the Ann Colter rule.

Famous story of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge walking the Rose Garden at the White House noticing the rooster was constantly busy, and when she asked the gardener about him, the gradener Said "that rooster can do it in excess of 100 times per day!" Mrs. Coolidge said "make sure Mr. Coolidge finds out about him". So when the gardener went to tell the Presdident about the rooster, Coolidge asked, "same hen every time?". The gardener said, "no different one every time". Coolidge replied " Make sure Mrs. Coolidge finds out about him".
