Friends don't use friends as meat shields... okay, only sometimes...


Today there was a craft fair in the cafeteria at work. My friend Lisa and I didn't want to work, so we went to check it out. The only cool things were some really expensive glass coasters that neither of us could justify buying. On the way back to our building we saw the local wild turkey herd (or at least 30 or so of them). One of the turkeys had gotten separated from the herd and was getting chased down the street by a van making some really pathetic noises. So we were saying "haha silly turkey, look at it run."

Then we look up, and there's another turkey about 30 feet up flying straight at us, and I'm like "Whoa, crap, another one" and Lisa screams and grabs my arm and hides behind me. And the turkey was getting bigger and lower and still coming right for us, and Lisa starts shuffling off to the side still using me as a shield. I had just about decided that I was going to whack the turkey with my umbrella when it finally veered off to the side a little, landed a couple feet away from us and waddled off down the street. At least Lisa believes me that they fly now.

So yes, today I was a meat shield.

hehe "they're coming right for us" *bang*
