The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

Article contributed by Lostinlimaohio, and scheduled a couple days later by Sam (don'cha just hate management).

It was a sad day for the customers and employees of Jacques Spur Junction Cafe in Idaho, for they mourned the loss of their unofficial greeter (you know, the guy that stands at the door of your favorite restaurant doing nothing).

People in the small Culdesac community were shocked and horrified to find that someone had shot and killed Rufus, throwing him into the back of their Blazer before speeding away. One eye witness said that it was all over within a minute, as a fifty year old man pulled up about 50 yards away from the cafe and aimed his shot gun at Rufus.

Personally, I'd think they would be happy to get rid of that freeloader. It seems that him and some family members showed up around October of last year, hanging out in the road and later drifting into a comfy spot in the cafes parking lot, begging for food and peeking into car doors. He was even reported as having hung out during Thanksgiving, greeting the customers as they came in to dine on his family members.

Dine on his family members- because they were all nothing but a bunch of turkeys.

For six months, Rufus the wild turkey beguiled area residents and served as unofficial greeter, pet and tourist attraction at the Jacques Spur Junction Cafe. But someone decided to turn him into dinner on the opening day of turkey hunting season Saturday.

You just know that the hunter had been counting down the days waiting to get ol' Rufus. And really, can you blame him? After months of having people throwing his dinner to him daily, he must of been a pretty fat turkey.

Plus, the way I see it- Rufus was asking for it. All the places in town, and he decides to hang out at a diner?
