Quote:BLACKFOOT, Idaho – A pilot who dropped 3,000 pingpong balls that were redeemable for prizes missed a crowd assembled for the stunt and instead hit a nearby interstate.
Where in America beside Idaho would this be legal without getting the police involved.

Everyone over 40, perhaps. Maybe 35? Don't remember when that thing was on.
And what was the gag? Was it that turkeys don't fly all that well so they were dropping out of the sky, or were they frozen birds? I can't recall and don't feel like listening to that.

They were throwing live turkeys out of a helicopter on Thanksgiving, thus the classic line, "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."

Yea, that[s what I thought. Frozen would be a little dumb as an idea even for a sitcom. I remember the episode pretty well actually, just that one little part I could quite recall if correct. I've, surprisingly, now seen several turkeys (I guess sleeping) up in the branches of trees and they had to get there somehow. Who knew?!?
