It’s Monday and I almost forgot to post a pun. So, against better judgment and common sense, here goes…

pigeon_car_01.jpgI was driving to work this morning when my car stalled in the damp weather. I was sitting in the car at the side of the highway, contemplating my next move, when a pigeon flew down and landed right in the middle of the hood of the car. It seemed fairly tame, and I soon became fascinated watching it up close as it strutted around and made cooing noises.

A few minutes passed and two more pigeons flew in and joined the first bird. Pigeons seem to be attracted by crowds and soon I was sitting there with a whole hood full of pigeons, all cooing loudly and beginning to change the color of my hood!

After a while, I noticed that the birds seemed to be trying to get my attention, which was unnerving since I had always regarded pigeons as rather stupid birds. But, sure enough, several of them were dragging a piece of rope around on the hood while several others were flying out in front of the car and returning to the hood.

Suddenly I realized what they were doing. I yanked open the door and, waving my arms wildly, chased them all off. No way was I going to allow myself to be pigeon towed!
