so my 26 year old daughter is driving from long island to Virginia today to go to a wedding. she is mostly a vegetarian and loves animals. on her way she is seeing a lot of tractor trailers hauling live chickens. I guess she was enjoying watching them as she would pass by. she would text me when she stopped for gas or bathroom break to update me where she was. so the last time she said she got off the highway to get something to eat. she said she was driving and all of a sudden she sees all of these trucks with the live chickens lined up to turn in the same driveway. when she passed them she could see the sign on the building. it said TYSON. well she said she was sad, and I was cracking up laughing. ---

During the early 1920s my father was a very young boy. His parents kept chickens in the yard, and he made them his pets. Just one problem: one disappeared from time to time. As he grew older, he figured out that his pet chickens were on the Sunday dinner table. He had to make a decision whether to eat chicken or side with his pets. He ate chicken. ---

We’ve got a turkey plant around here so see trucks with the turkeys on their last ride. Few years ago one of the trucks hit that low bridge so they had turkeys in their crates on the road. Can’t imagine if a truck load of turkeys got loose in town. One thing though, don’t follow those trucks too close. They spew nasties quite a ways back and if you’ve got your window open or in vent mode, breath in all those microbes. ---

Not sure if is true mother would talk about turkeys being so stupid they would drink in all the water as it was raining they could and die. ---

> [@Barkydog](#): > > mother would talk about turkeys being so stupid I’ve heard that but don’t know if it’s true or not. I do know the turkeys that are bred for the dinner table are bred to be stupid and big. They have no need to think about anything except getting fat. Not like the wild turkeys. ---

My favorite John Anderson song…is about a chicken truck. Hey, and it’s car related! [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/9/3913a44dcb93a8d6692fdcdaf35f1625e3182af7.jpeg "John Anderson ~ Chicken Truck") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg4psqXicRs) ---

I have a little trouble with the dialect but here are the words for your enjoyment. Lyrics Well it was mornin’ when I left Alabama It must have been around in Mid July I got behind a chicken truck from Georgia And the feathers were a flyin’ like snow out of the sky I couldn’t get up the speed enough to pass him And a funny smell was a gettin’ close to me And somethin’ keeps on messing up my windsheild And the farther I go the harder it get’s to see Chicken truck chicken truck behind it I’m stuck Chicken truck chicken truck it’s just my luck chicken truck on Highway 65 Well the hens are a sqaukin’ and the roosters are a crowin’ Slowin’ me down when I need to get goin’ chicken truck on Highway 65 He slowed down and I tried to drive around him On a big long hill just south of Tennesee He had a box of Colonel Sander’s on his dashboard And he was eatin’ fried chicken and throwin’ his bones on me Chicken truck chicken truck… Chicken truck chicken truck… ---

My sister and I climbed up a Forest Service fire watch tower the Ranger let us in. We could see areas of white in the distance, Ranger explained they were turkey farms. Early 60s in Northern Minnesota. I had never seen a wild turkey until this past ten years, now they are in my neighborhood! ---

“Wolf Creek Pass” by C. W. McCall [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/2/2/227e5e73e098655f18b53f50488b14c5ae37122c.jpeg "C.W. McCall - Wolf Creek Pass") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6LzWZYWpOU) Some of the lyrics. Me an’ Earl was haulin’ chickens On a flatbed out of Wiggins And we’d spent all night on the uphill side Of 37 miles of hell Called Wolf Creek Pass Which is up on the Great Divide Right in the middle of the whole damn show Was a real nice tunnel Now wouldn’t you know Sign says clearance to the 12-foot line But the chickens was stacked to 13-nine Well we shot that tunnel at a hundred-and-ten Like gas through a funnel and eggs through a hen We took that top row of chickens off Slicker than scum off a Louisiana swamp ---

Driving through the mountains in N. Georgia on a two lane road passed an 18 wheeler stock truck hauling hogs, now that’s a smell that stays with you. When I was maybe 5 or 6 my father drove a small stock truck for the local slaughter house. Occasionally he would take me along, when we delivered the animals we would go in. It never affected me and I still love animals. [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/kind-of-funny/179845.md?page=2)
