[TR273]

*pulls over a certain tricycle riding mouse going 1,000 mpg in a school zone. I walk up to him and his vehicle wearing my big aviator glass look down and say:*

Sir ... did you know that several owls species have ear tufts on their heads but they aren't ears at all? These tufts of feathers may indicate the bird's mood, help keep it camouflaged by mimicking branches or leaves, or be used to show aggression or dominance.

This has been your random owl fact for the day.

*I then write you a ticket*

*And pay it, it was after all 'A fair cop' as we say.*

Ah-ha! The police accepting two payments for the same ticket! Obvious sign of corruption (or really bad record keeping) either way the predator police are replaced with the incorruptible Lesser Mouseland Constabulary, pending a full investigation.

And the prey are addicted to WINS!

Such as our latest victory.

 

[TR273]

And that makes a nice prey victory!

*Opens the wine cellar, orders the beers and makes a start on the mountain of cheese.*

Peace, of course!

Few are the animals that have such a potent yet peaceful defence as the spray of a skunk: the maloderous malefactors may be temporarily blinded, gag and flee, but are all in all unharmed: they merely learn their lesson.

*An expose in the Owlet Observer proves that The Skunk Hollow Sentinel is a corrupt institution funded by 'Big Pray' and that the Editor in Chief's Nobel Peace Prize is in fact a cookie decorated to look like a gold medal*
