Bat Trivia

The Louisville Slugger baseball bat factory makes a helluva lot of bats.  Streamlined machinery allows them to make a bat in about 6 seconds.  That's much faster than the 30 minutes it takes to make them by hand.

It's no surprise that the factory also produces a lot of wood shavings- about 1.5 tons a week.

When asked where all those wood shavings go our tour guide was more than eager to tell us.

"A turkey farmer uses them for bedding.  He's got the happiest fowl anywhere."

So punny.

  2. Only ONE turkey farmer? Jeez, it sounds like those turkeys have shavings to spare.
