# of turkeys killed for "thanksgiving" ranges from 5,000,000
to 45,000,000.
Of course, there were a lot fewer American Indians exterminated.
Thanks be to god.
Not only are they tougher than battery-raised turkeys, but what
with the diminishing size of the average (non-quiverful) family--
even counting third cousins, funny uncles, and brothers from
New Jersey--they *really* pose a left-over problem.
