Time to light a fire under his butt

he is in peace now – relax

Not what, but whooo!

Maybe that’s why it’s endangered.

Big roast, small cage ???

It has succumbed to the danger.

What? This? No, it’s a Dodo.

The same as what happened to the elusive fish.

It was truly in danger.

That bird was a lot bigger than the cage it was in.

Oh, you mean that Owl that looks just like a Turkey? Er… Don’t know anything about it.

New artist or new pens?

The Count votes for the little critter got loose and is now safely prospering happily in nature where it belongs. Dilly! Dilly!

First I’d like to ask an expert, are warts contagious?

Can one catch warts by eating meat covered in warts?

Does it have to be cooked well done, or can the warts survive being cooked ‘medium rare’? Since I hate well done.

This reminds me of the spotted owl issue. Environmentalists use it as the poster child to save old growth forests where it lives. There is also a fungus that is endangered that also grows in old growth forests. However, owls are cute. “Save the fungus” didn’t catch on.

Said the husband to the wife whose parrot talked too much during breakfast

OK, this is really sick – but I’ll admit, I laughed out loud.

“That bird spoke four languages!” Who knows the punchline?

Well, the bird that I’m cooking is clearly too large for that cage, so that can’t be it.

This actually happened. Douglas Adams tells a story in his book “last chance to see” about a multi-year conservation effort to revive some small game bird and when they released the birds into the wild some local rich guy saw them and organized a party to hunt them down and eat them. Apparently he thought that those delicious birds he hadn’t seen since his childhood had miraculously returned and his only thought was to roast them ASAP.

Spotted Owl tastes like chicken.

It’s long past endangered now.

Tasty!!!!!

Oh, you mean Diner?

That’s a big bird for such a tiny cage!

Scientists estimate that at least 99.9 percent of all species of plants and animals that ever lived are now extinct. The Milanese Wart Owl will now be added to the list. To bad it tasted great.

I hear that Snail darter soup is becoming the new delicacy.

Oh-oh…

Wait — they had Italy in caveman days?

Oooooo, whoooooo knows?

Vegan; The early Karens.

He, no longer, is in danger.

“Let’s sit down and digest this new information.”

endangered Who?

Mmmmmmmm, owl. Tastes like chicken.

“Owl I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.”

The editor apologises for the spelling error of “Milanese art owl.”

Yeah! Wart what?!

That was for missing Thanksgiving. (Rock Soup again!)

At least we know warts wrong with that bird.

That bird is much too big for that cage…

“I haven’t seen it. Are you staying for lunch?”

UH-OH!!

It’s no longer in any danger.
