Franklin did make that suggestion, but he was known for his humor, so it's possible he was joking and people didn't get it. Thomas Jefferson wanted the dove. I'm okay with the way we went, because having an eagle dinner at Thanksgiving just doesn't seem right.

I'll bet if that had happened, the producers would have eventually bred a dove that couldn't fly, but has forty pounds of meat on it!
