"Perfect"

This episode was hilarious! I haven't laughed so much in 20 years. As the daughter of a former turkey inseminator, this show brought back many memories, definitely not all warm and fuzzy. Ironically, my dad's company was named "Happy Turkeys Inc.". I had forgotten the humor in this job. I have thought several times about nominating this job for DJ! You made my dad's night and reaffirmed that his decision to go back to college at 50 years old was a wise choice. No one that watches this episode should question my fear of all birds...moreless
