For The Birds

Does it bother anyone else how utterly disrespectful humans are toward birds? If you don't like something, you say it's for the birds. If you don't like someone, you might say they're a turkey. And if you think they're stupid, you either say they're a bird-brain, or they're a dodo. And let's not forget, when someone is particularly crazy in their behavior, we say that they're cuckoo!

Gossip? A little bird told me.

Getting a job done efficiently? Killing two birds with one stone.

A picky eater? They eat like a bird. Though I must admit, I'd like to see a picky eater chowing down on earthworms!

Someone who lives in anticipation of the misfortune of others? A vulture.

And I'd just like to say, the next time I'm driving down the road and someone cuts me off and then flips the bird, I think I'm going to have a cow.

No offense to all you bovines out there.
