Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

OK, time for Useless Pop Culture Trivia Quiz. Who said "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly", and why?
To reveal the answer, hold down the mouse and drag it over the section below, to highlight the answer.

Answer:

On the show WKRP in Cincinnati, Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson had the idea for a promotion to drop turkeys from a helicopter over a shopping center parking lot, only to find, to sort of borrow a phrase from Douglas Adams, that turkeys fly in much the same manner as bricks do. Les Nessman, of "More music, and Les Nessman" fame, gave us the on air coverage of the horrific event.
