damned trucks
Approximately 200 dead crows were recently found near Northam on the Great Eastern Highway in West Australia and there was concern that they may have
died from Avian Flu.
A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu (to everyone's relief). However, he
determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, and only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
The Federal Government then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine the dis- proportionate percentages for truck versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviorist determined the cause, the conclusion in short order was:
When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out Crow in nearby tree to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say "Cah" but, he could not say "Truck."
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

FAAAARK In crow language, that means - "They're getting
worse".
Keep 'em coming though, donn.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
