Turkeys

Did you notice that all of the turkeys made their annual appearance on schedule, just a day or two before Thanksgiving?

• The turkeys I am talking about drive cars. They show up in hoards just before Thanksgiving day, to clog the roads and shopping mall parking lots. They are the ones who zip into that parking space you were about to enter. They run stop signs and red traffic lights. They make left turns from the right hand lane, and vice versa. They zoom up alongside you, cut in front of you, and then slow down.
  
• Many of them wear baseball caps, backwards of course. Others look deceptively normal. Some of them offer the one finger salute as a holiday greeting. This year most of them are using cell phones while they pull their rude and inconsiderate stunts.
  
• Then, just after New Years Day, the turkeys go back into hiding until the next Thanksgiving. During the rest of the year, only occasionally will one appear.
