Overheard a conversation....

[Boyd]

Daughter was out on a date. Both me and the wife are waiting for her when her BF pulls in. We tell both of them to get inside and we'll talk to them. When we get in they start telling us about a drunk driver who was weaving back and forth all across the road in front of them, and they had no way to pass. Since we live on a very long road I wasn't surprised but they were still 30 minutes late. Grounding offense and the BF still had to deal with me.

My wife asks Cheryl if the guy was drunk and weaving why didn't they call 911?

"Cuz I didn't know the number"

Yup, she's a blonde, and was grounded for the worst excuse for breaking a date curfew ever.

I still get the grins on that story.

Mine were out in the rain the other day, and I have to say - wet chickens look really funny! But they didn't drown - just got wet.

the only chicken I lost from the rain was a small chick who got separated from momma and chilled..
So I am going to guess that's pretty much how the idea of turkeys drowning in the rain got started. As young birds they can get chilled easily. I could see how a free range turkey or some in a pen could get chilled from the rain and be dead when the owner went out later to check on them
