Ed used to tease Joe because he loved turkey so much he'd eat it almost nonstop from Thanksgiving through New Year. This may sound uncharitable, or like I'm saying it out of jealousy because he had such good luck with women, but I'd have to agree with Ed that Joe began to look like a turkey the way that he strutted.
He was a hunter so maybe, okay, he's seen the way turkeys walk. Anyway, he used to go hunting for them starting in early November. Sometimes he'd get grouse or woodcock. He liked woodcock.
Guess the ladies did too.
