A man was driving along a rural road one day when he saw a three legged turkey running down the road. He was amused enough to drive alongside it for a while, as he was driving he noticed the turkey was running 30 mph.
Pretty fast turkey, he thought, I wonder just how fast it can run. So he sped up and the turkey did too! They were now moving along the road at 45 mph!
The man in the car sped up again, to his surprise the turkey was still running ahead of him at 60 mph!!!
Suddenly the turkey turned off the road and ran down a long driveway leading to a farmhouse. The man followed the turkey to the house and saw a man in the yard with dozens of three legged turkeys. The man in the car called out to the farmer "How did you get all these three legged turkeys?"
The farmer replied, "I breed 'em. Ya see it's me, my wife and my daughter living here and we all like to eat the turkey leg. Since a turkey only has two legs, I started breeding this three legged variety so we could all eat our favorite piece."
"That's amazing!" said the driver "How do they taste?"
"Don't rightly know, I ain't caught one yet!"
