A difficult independent 75-year-old woman liked sitting by the park feeding the pigeons.
One day she brought with her a whole loaf of fresh bread just to feed her daily company. Little by little, pinch by pinch, she fed each pigeon with joy. She sat there without being noticed by anyone in the rich suburban neighborhood.
Then suddenly a man in his early 40's rained on her parade by telling her that she shouldn't throw away good food on a bunch of pigeons that can find food anywhere when there are a lot of people starving in Africa.
She replied in crazed anger and without hesitation, "I can't throw that far!"
TURKENHEIM, France - You may have heard of stork's dropping babies on doorsteps, but have you ever heard of stork nests dropping on people? A 70-year-old woman was sitting on the terrace of the Restaurant de la tour, in Turkeheim, when the huge nest crashed through the restaurant canopy and onto the victims head. The nest apparently fell from a tower overlooking the restaurant in the historic old city. Two storks and their babies were in the nest, but the police have not given details about their condition. No other humans were seriously injured in the incident.
