I can’t be the only one who feels that this headline is the first clause of an unfinished joke. C’mon Mark, don’t leave us hanging like that! Now I’ve got to finish it myself:
Bird asks for a drink. “Mezcal, neat, no worm.”
Bird asks for a drink. Bartender asks what kind of drink. Scotch triple, neat, bird replies. Bartender asks him what’s up. Bird says “I got kicked out of the nest today.” Bartender says “well, we all have to learn how to fly someday.” Bird replies “You’ve never met an emu before, have you?”
Bird asks for a drink. Finishes drink. Bird asks for another drink. Finishes drink. Bird ends up finishing six drinks in one hour, then asks the bartender to close his tab because he has to fly home with his mates. Bartender says “I can’t let you fly in your condition”. Bird hiccups and says "Sh’no problem. I’m at the back of the V today."
Here all night, folks.
