Maaan, I never understood how people liked phones so much. I only like long talks with people I can't see in person cause they live a million miles away!

Here's the article:

Gumbo, there are men in pinstripe suits who will be happy to provide you with credit. We used to call them loansharks; now they are bank executives.

I think that is what makes this one fun... I immediately thought of the big yellow guy visiting DC from Sesame Street. Sadly - it was some type of raptor. The 'wildlife expert' called to the scene couldn't identify it.

I couldn't find any mention of a "wildlife expert" - I kinda wondered what kind of "expert" can't tell the difference between a hawk and a falcon. Kudos to the "passerby" who had the common sense to hold on to the bird lest it hurt itself even more before the firefighters could get it free.

In D.C.? Perhaps it was a vulture...

Edit: People argue if they are raptors or not. That they nest in D.C. is proven, I think, by their plural designation: committee.

I think most of the wildlife experts around here are the kind that hang out in Adams Morgan every night...
