So I walk into this diner...

...with my camera hanging off my shoulder and the waitress runs over to me and says " You've got to come outside and take a picture of this bird ! "

Huh ? was my reply, What bird ?
So she grabs my arm and drags me out of the restaurant .. That Bird ! she squawked at me . And there he was perched on the top of the passenger seat bouncing his head at me .

Well it's going to be kind of tough to get a good shot of him in the car I said . Next thing ya know she's in there pulling him out by the leg !

Hey that is your bird right ? I asked .
Hell no, you think I can afford something like that on my pay ?

Well who's bird is it ?..Just Hanks she says . Umm won't he be upset that your handling his pet ?

Just take the damned pictures !!

I felt at this point the safest thing to do was to comply..

That's pretty much the whole story, and here's a photo of the bird .
