Be an eagle, not a turkey

This was today’s advice from Arnold Schwarzenegger1 I almost spelled the name right on the first try.

It’s not bad advice. Turkeys are fine, but they can’t fly. Eagles can fly, look cool, and one tried attacking Donald Trump1.

I think I’m more a turkey-eagle hybrid, though. A turkgle. I can fly like an eagle, provided I’m in a plane, hot air balloon or the clutches of a California condor, but I’m generally ground-based like a turkey. Also, like a turkey, we have a similar amount of hair on the head. I think I wear my lack of hair better. No offence to any turkeys reading this.

You can read Arnie’s advice (in his accent for best effect) in his Pump Club newsletter.
