Oh my, that is strange.

Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction!

Maybe they were hoping it could be made into a commercial like that Geico one with the gecko asking the crab "What are you looking at crabcakes?"

well, a bird on the beach is worth two in the hand....

As they say in Yorkshire........there's nowt so queer as folk........

Perhaps they like the sea breeze through their feathers.

Late at night, I was stitching, alone in the living room at about 2:30 A.M.. Our pudgy little Pug dog starting barking towards the front yard and I thought I heard a noise. I opened the drapes just a little and was facing a dissheveled fellow with rotten teeth. Strange stuff on our beach!
So I woke up DH, my optimist. He invited the guy in, gave him a dry pair of socks, and asked me if I had any money. I said no and DH showed him how to access our bathroom. DH knew I had $20 hidden and made me give to the bum! Mr. Idiot left and then, DH showed me the 14" KNIFE that our visitor had slip out of his pocket! What a beach!

Su please tell me that this was a VERY bad dream.

Oh no! It occurred about one week after we downsized to the beach...

A few years ago I went to my gynecologist's office for an appointment. While sitting in the waiting room, a man came in and sat down with a parrot on his shoulder with his wife. I became very nervous as I don't like birds near me unless they're in a cage. The man didn't have one. There was also a young boy in the room that wanted to feed the parrot because he feeds parakeets at home.
Finally the nurse at the desk called my name to see the doctor. When I returned to the desk, I told the nurse the man should have not been allowed in the office with the parrot uncaged or left it in his car. I no longer see that doctor.
