Fact About Crows

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 of paints 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.

He 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.

They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout


"Cah", not a single one could shout "Truck."

Are you practicing for your stand up comedy debut in a near-by taco joint?

Hi Judy -- off the grid w/ travel and then so much work to catch up w/... curious about gospel tacos ... and life in the IRS w/out internet... is that about fiscal security or federal government work mentality? NY state employee for life I think.
