That is an Ex-Parrot!


I had a box of animal crackers the other day. The box said 'do not eat if seal is broken.' I opened the box, the lion was OK, the elephant was OK, sure enough, the darn seal was broken.

So you expect me to believe a 3 oz swallow carried a 1 pound coconut by the husk from temperate regions. It just doesn't make any sense.
