Show Description

Shep meets a girl named Doris in the Library while he was doing research on the Whiskey Rebellion. She needed help with differential equations which he knew all about. He helps her and they begin dating. One night Shep picks her up and takes a short cut ending up in the midst of a herd of turkeys. After sitting through this storm of birds and being threatened by the farmer they finally arrive at their destination only to have Doris ask to go home - they both, along with the car smelled like turkeys themselves.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
