Bears and Deers and Turkeys, Oh, My

There was a Department of Environmental Conservation check point up on the hill yesterday. In attendance were an assortment of deer on cars, deer that had been removed from cars, whether to confiscate them or age them or check them for something we have no idea, and the largest bear either of our folks had ever seen, hanging off both sides of another car.

And there were officers of the game laws.

Those officers signaled a certain someone to stop and roll down the window in the Durango.

And asked, "Do you have any deer in there?"

Our hero answered, "No sir, but I do have two turkeys."

The officer perked right up and inquired firmly, "And when and where did you get them?"

And Mr. Wise Guy announced proudly, "Just a few minutes ago in the freezer case at Hannaford."

See, Smarty Pants had been doing the Thanksgiving shopping with Becky.

Me, I don't make wise remarks to men with guns, but the boss just doesn't share my discretion.

The officer admitted, "I should have seen that one coming," and waved them on.

There were actually THREE turkeys in the car but only two were frozen......

***and I do know that the plural of deer is not deers...just a little local joke
