The Pussy Birds are Back (A Conversation)

Brother-in Law:  “I see that the pussy birds are back.”

Mitch:  “What?”

Brother-in Law:  “The pussy birds have arrived back in Montana.”

Mitch:  “What are pussy birds?”

Brother-in Law:  “Robins.  Songbirds.”

Mitch:  “Oh…why do you call them pussy birds?”

Brother-in Law:  “They are a bunch of pussies.  They won’t even stay here for the winter.  Besides, what good are they?  All they do is sing all day and shit on stuff?”

Mitch:  “I like the singing…”

Brother-in Law:  “An eagle or a hawk: now that’s a real bird.”
