- I miss that. There was this one episode, it must have been 6 or 7 years ago,
- where Dave was on the 5-story tower, dropping stuff, and he set up this
- trampoline underneath. Then he takes out a raw, skinned turkey, and said
- "Scientists tell us the turkey can't fly -- I'm here to prove they're wrong,"
- and he dropped the bird down onto the trampoline. It bounced up, and the
- little wings flopped around in mid-air, and I thought I would die laughing.
-
- Some of Dave's best segments are when he destroys stuff (the locomotive, the
- 40-ton steel press, etc.), but it's gotten very rare lately. A while ago he
- was having Biff drive a golf cart through things, which was pretty good, but
- that's the last I can remember.
