Boston Crow Mystery Solved - Communication problem

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead

crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have

died from Avian Flu. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the

crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely

NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.



However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors and

types of paint appeared on the bird's beaks and claws. By

analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had

been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with

a car.



MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if there was a

cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus

car kills. The Ornithological Behaviorist very quickly concluded the cause:

when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to

warn of impending danger.



The conclusion was that while all the lookout crows could say "Cah", none

could say "Truck."

That's efinn' funny there mate. I would like to know the liquid volume of scotch (or boilermakers) it took to come up with that one.

JB, I am not the author. I have another place I hang out and occasionally rob their material.
Currently enjoying the second and third finest things in the world, a good whiskey and a good cigar. Highland Park 15, and a Croft’s Churchill (about $6 @ Serious Cigars, off the West Loop).
Congrats on the surgery.

And the First would be a PINK TACO?

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

The first is your ATF, naturally.
