Pigeons, Fruit, and Muffins

This morning just as we hit the Lowry Tunnel a news story came on the radio about how St. Paul is attempting to control its pigeon problem. The story reported that bird feed containing birth control for the pigeons has resulted in a dramatic decrease in the population of pigeons.

"Huh," I said. "Interesting."

Mark, "I guess the Catholic solution wasn't working."

I laughed. "Well, we tried to teach them natural family planning..."

A few minutes later Mark says to the woman in the green Honda Civic with Wisconsin plates attempting to merge into our lane:

"C'Mon. You eatin' your blueberry muffin, drivin' your Wisconsin-born Honda."

Also, earlier this morning in the McDonald's drive through Mark called the person driving the car in front of us a "fruit knuckle."

Me: "What? What did you just say?"

"I called him a fruit knuckle."

"WHY?" I'm laughing. "Is that an insult?"

"Yeah."
