Turkey takes action after first bird flu case. 09/10/2005. ABC News Online

I suppose if the bird flu was going to strike anywhere, it was turkey. Very sad.

I checked the web to see if this was an irony my punning brain had picked up on in advance of the rest of the world, but no. That was a bit hard to swallow.

Typically, Mehdi Eker, the Agriculture Minister, is ducking for cover. What a goose.
