I was taking a walk with Whiskey (the eight month old German Shepherd I inherited) and came upon a flock of these feathered non-smack talking birds and just wondered…
Does anyone say ‘jive turkey’ anymore?
Why is a ‘turkey’ considered dumb? Have you ever hunted turkey? Most game hunters will tell you those dull [seemingly dim witted] birds are really quite clever.
If a turkey is a dummy and a jive turkey is someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about why do people say “let’s talk turkey” when they want a serious discussion?
Hmmm. All of this turkey talk has made me hungry. Enjoy the pictures, I’m going to make myself a sandwich.

And ‘turkey in the straw’. What’s that about?
Whiskey looks like a cousin the my Rocky. Nice! Gobble gobble…

Yeah, what’s that about? A fiddler with nothing else to sing about? Whiskey & Rocky probably are cousins. Maybe 100th cousin ten times removed. 😉

They are smarter than we think. I remember how scared I was as a kid whenever turkeys chase me and my sisters whenever we visited our aunt. All creatures have something uniquely amazing about them that …including turkeys. Great images!

Another meaning. ~ Let’s discuss business. I have fond memories of my Dad and Uncle talking like this to each other and they were funny and smart; so-o-o-o-o here is my version. Not for the sensitive. letstalkjiveturkey.blogspot.com
