Editor's Note
Thanks to the many, many readers who have tipped me to the North Carolina man who fended off a carjacker by crowning him with the frozen turkey he had just bought at the grocery store. I couldn't bring myself to it, though, because it's a Thanksgiving staple. I know two things will happen every Thanksgiving, often several times: Someone will smack someone else with a frozen turkey, and tragedies will result from attempts to deep-fry turkeys. Guaranteed. Anyway, against my better judgment, here's the carjacker story. Associated Press via Washington Post

Thanks, Chuck. I have to say Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without someone giving someone else the bird. My wife will be happy it's not me this year.

Talk of Thanksgiving and Turkeys always - I say ALWAYS! - reminds me of the most famous line in North American TV sitcom history regarding the feathery fowl. It was spoken by a character on the series WKRP In Cincinnati:
"With God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

great show agent j and great episode! I believe they dropped several hundred turkeys from a plane over a shopping mall. All the turkeys died.

Good call patty! I always liked Les Nesman (I think that was his name) and the way he taped off walls and a door for his desk area. People would actually have to pretend to knock on his imaginary door before walking up to his desk. Great show!
