But really, I can't tell you how happy this makes me, what a fantastic reference.
God, his witness.

So I figured I would google it, evidently some USian reference.... First few links were to when students drop out of Uni or other tertiary education, apparently they are referred to as turkeys, and turkey dropouts. For some reason. Or alternatively they break up with their partners.
But apparently that is a reference to dropping live turkeys out of a helicopter in a sitcom. It sounds somewhat bloodthirsty, and I do not want to see such a thing, though I can imagine... Terrifyingly that is apparently a reference to a real world event of dropping live turkeys from the back of a moving truck....
Okay. Huh.
I knew Americans were weird about turkeys and have a holiday set aside for them, but this seems ridiculous somehow.
They didn't actually show the turkeys being dropped.
that seems somewhat a relief.
Is Cincinatti when the turkeys drop considered a good or a bad thing? My wiki walk has led me other places now, but it seemed all to be negative consequences?
The radio station was going to drop turkeys from a helicopter as a promotion because the station manager thought turkeys could fly. He was wrong.
So it is a bad thing?
Turkeys might not be able to fly as adults, but they can glide just fine. If not affected by the downdraft under a helicopter rotor, which would affect any birds ability to fly.
It's a sitcom. Believe it or not, they aren't known for their scientific rigor.
