I'll gladly put a contract out on the parrot if you want the work. Alive, dead. I don't care as long as I don't have to hear the awful thing.

Watch out! All the "Dead Parrot Activists" out there are going to come after you now, whining and whimpering about how cruel the world is to parrots and how we all need to devote more resources to saving them from parrot-haters around the world...

Gee, now that we are spending our hard earned money on these lovely collectible books, doesn't anyone want to buy some CHERRY bookshelves on which to store them? (I have a BUNCH of shelf units - TALL and short sitting in storage in NJ that are breaking my bank!) (I know, put them on eBay - I will tomorrow...)
