Pigeon Toes

Why do they call it pigeontoed? Every pigeon I’ve ever seen has walked perfectly straight!
———- from Sari Henry of Washington DC (via email)
There simply is no society for the defamation of pigeons. For a while ducks and poultry had one, funded by a tax on cartoon characters, but the interest group crumbled when the FCC relaxed their rulings on Saturday morning programming (hmm…anyone out there remember my series on Fox in 1987-88?). The fact is, Sari, the squeaky wheel gets the grease and the butt of any joke is usually the one who least deserves to be laughed at. Being the evolutionary offspring of intimate contact betwen rats and escaped parakeets, pigeons have many disgusting personal attributes which, in this observer’s opinion, deserve ridicule….but walking isn’t one of them.
