Turkey Stress Test

Here is a nontraditional stress test for an elderly gentleman.

While 83 year old Chuck Ritter from Traverse City, Mich. was relaxing in his apartment, an unwanted 25 lb. turkey came crashing through his window.

The on-call maintenance workers at the apartment complex tried to corral the bird but were having difficulty amid the blood and shards of glass.

Finally after about 30 minutes of trying to coax the turkey toward the window with a broomstick and a fishing pole, Ritter cornered the bird, grabbed it by the neck and threw it out the window. It is unclear whether the bird was dead at that point.

Ritter said after the ordeal that the turkey would make a nice dinner, and he was looking for a needy family to give it to.

I guess this turkey was either late for thanksgiving or early for Christmas.

Ritter’s heart seemed to hold up well under the ordeal.
