I think the birds have it in for me

A parrot ate one of my waybills.

The Canada Geese currently causing havoc in this city got pissed off because I wanted to unload my truck in what is apparently now their loading ramp.

A passing seagull took a dump on my windshield.

I have a zebra finch and I wouldn't want him mad at me! He's only half the size of a sparrow, but god can he get grumpy.

Better find some kind of bird god and leave it an offering.

Love a dog and he thinks you're a god.

Love a cat and he thinks he's a god.

Love a bird and he will demand daily sacrifices.

I walked into the store and nobody was there except a parrot walking around squawking at me. Eventually somebody came out to figure out what all the racket was about and discovered me. Then we had to find my waybill which we eventually found on the floor partially chewed up. It was still legible so we used it instead of going to the hassle of writing out a new one.
