A married man had only one complaint: his wife was always

nursing sick birds. One February evening, he came home to

find a raven with a splint on its wing sitting in his

favorite chair. On the dining room table, instead of

dinner, there was a feverish eagle pecking at an aspirin.

In the kitchen, his wife was comforting a shivering little

wren she found out in the snow.

The furious husband strode over to where his wife was

toweling down the cold little bird. "I can't take it any

more! We've got to get rid of all of these #(@ birds!"

The wife held up her hand and cut him off in mid-sentence.

"Please, Dear, no cuss words in front of the chilled

wren."

...RRROOAAAANNNNN!
