Maybe this oughta go on "The Lighter Side"

But definitively, accept that it ain't intended as a slap in the face ta all you Jakeaholicks (from an admiited Heathen)

acticle "Talking Turkey" by Bill Buford

...("Poults" are chicks. "jakes" are young males, "gobblers," adult males.)

So next time ya hear someone talking about Jake being a young male turkey, please don't take offense - they're prob'bly just talkin Thanksgivin' turkeys.

THis reminds me of a sign Pete and I saw in Casper, Wyoming: "No Jake Brakes Allowed."

Indeed.
