I find a LOT of online sources (like the one linked below) claiming the tradition of pulling on wishbones (furculae) is a tradition extending back thru the Brits to the Romans & even the Etruscans, BUT...I've not been able yet to identify an ancient source. Does anyone in the group know a source or sources (if indeed such exists)? https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mentalfloss.com%2Farticle%2F31579%2Fwhy-do-we-wish-turkeys-wishbone&data=02%7C01%7Cclassics-l%40lsv.uky.edu%7C5989e9f738b444945f8208d76f6a57c3%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C1%7C637100374837007592&sdata=xRqp5ug8Du014pWltUSjp1TyfesVACjZMJryCDHN0rY%3D&reserved=0 Rick LaFleur
