The National Highways agency found over 200 dead crows on the M4 near Bridgend recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone’s relief, confirmed the problem was NOT Avian Flu. The cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts. However, during analysis it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the …bird’s beaks and claws. By analysing these paint residues it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with lorrys, while only 2% were killed by cars.
The Agency then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills. The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger. They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout “Cah”, not a single one could shout “Lorry”

That’s really funny John, but old daftie that I am I first read it as 200 dead cows on the M4 and was imagining the chaos before I looked up and saw the thread title.

And then I enjoyed the joke. :rofl:

Wild indeed! Camilla appears to have lost a finger or two and Charles has discovered an anti-gravity device for suspending a cigarette(?) in front of his mouth (presumably so he can claim that he ‘never inhaled’).

Might also be too unfunny

Possibly a little too near to genuine possibility considering the present falling out.

Alternatively, given the day, and just as funny
