Zoo Whiz

Birds of a feather often pee together.
Some of my family was in town for the weekend. We decided to take them to the zoo for the annual Halloween festivities and do something to entertain my two kids and nephew. We paid ten bucks a kid and got a couple handfuls of Tootsie Rolls coupled with minimal access to the zoo attractions. The kids were able to dress up and trick-or-treat around the grounds. We took them from stop to stop for a total of nine treat stations…..to my dismay there were no tricks. Most of the animals were packed away for the winter but for some reason the zoo was overrun with peacocks. They were every-frickin-where! There were peacock feathers and peacock poop all over the place. We were heading out and I had to take a leak. I walked in the men’s room, did my business, zipped up, and turned around. As I turned my head, something uber-colorful caught my eye. I turned around and holy-feathered-shit! There was a peacock with feathers fully fanned out in the men’s room. The bird was blocking the door and I wasn’t sure what the heck to do. I barked at it, whistled, stomped my foot, walked toward it, and all it did was defiantly push up its chest in protest. I started to clap my hands together as loud as I could and it started to turn around. The fanned feathers went down and the peacock walked out of the restroom. I walked out behind it and caught up with the rest of the family. I think peacock is misspelled after the pee-house odeal. The spelling should be peecock…..it still sounds the same but is more representative of the bird I ran into in the zoo men’s room.
