a racing pigeon fancier
10. People referring to you as a "bird brain" 9. Spring and summer weekends are "for the birds" 8. Vacation time is time to visit other "bird brains" 7. Your bank account has no bottom when buying birds. 6. The only subject of conversation that has your interest. 5. Endless hours are spent reading articles and then not
applying any thing read.. 4. Droppings become a subject of intense study. 3. Your hands become deformed and can only firmly grasp a
scraper. 2. Your eyes naturally look towards the sky. 1. You have more time for "pairing up" the birds than "pairing

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS Where you see a name in blue you
can link to the site. Loft renovations can get out of control. Every Fancier has to be environmentally conscious

identified this as a sperm whale. Andy
says
"If they saw it in Newfoundland they would harpoon it and try to drag it
ashore.
Custom equipment is required so that a quick response
can be made on race day. Predators require constant alert.
The trips for feed, vitamins, misc. supplies can be expensive. When your bird is home in time to win and won't trap can be emotionally
difficult. Spring, summer, early fall. It's a long race season. Novice FlyerExperienced

A bum walked
up to a well dressed man in a feed store and asked "can you give me two
dollars sir". The man asked him. Are you going to spend the money on gambling
or liquor? No said the bum I don't drink or gamble. Then the gentleman
asked the bum. Are you going to spend it on racing pigeons? No said the
bum. I don't have pigeons. GOOD! replied the gentleman: "Come home with
me and I'll have my wife make you a good meal". The bum asked. Won't your
wife be upset if you bring a bum like me into your home? The gentleman
replied. Probably but I want her to see what happens to a man that doesn't
gamble, drink or race pigeons.
Three
racing pigeons were on the loft bragging to each other about their life
accomplishments. The first pigeon boasts, "I've been in 59 races and I've
won 35 of them." "That's nothing," says the second pigeon. "I've raced
97 times, and I've won 78 of them! "The third pigeon joins in: "Well, I've
raced 122 times and I've won 102!" Just then, the birds hear a voice say,
"I've got you all beat!" The birds look down and see a greyhound. "I've
raced over 200 times, and I have NEVER lost!" The pigeons look at the dog
in amazement. One of them says "How about that! A talking dog!"
The original joke was sent by Guy Sterling. I changed it a little
to suit the site theme.
It's the last race of the Old Bird season, 600 miles. It's been raining
along the course, and the federation wants to complete the race. The young
pigeon transport driver's first trip and he has been stuck at the release
point four days. He stops into a brothel in the town walks straight up
to the Madam, drops down $500 and says, "I want your ugliest woman and
a bologna sandwich!!!" The Madam is astonished. "But sir, for that
kind of money you could have one of my finest ladies and a three course
meal." The trucker replies, "Listen sweetheart, I ain't Horny, I'm homesick."
Another driver was just starting to catch a little
sleep in his truck before getting up early to release the birds in the
morning when there was a knock on the truck door. Looking out he saw a
very unattractive woman with a little dog in her arms. She asked "could
you use a little company for the night" Sure replied the driver. How much
do you want for the dog?
Miss Bea was in her eighties, and much admired for her sweetness
and kindness. She had a bird feeder in her back garden and would often
pick up injured or flown out racers. One after noon the local club presided
paid her visit to thank her for all the birds she has turned into him.
She welcomed him and invited him for tea and cookies. She escorted him
to her victorian pallor to have a seat while she prepared the tea and cookies.
As he sat facing her old pump organ, he noticed a cut glass bowl sitting
on top of it. Filled with water. In the water floated, of all things was
a condom. Imagine his shock and surprise. Imagine his curiosity! Surely
Miss Bea had flipped or something…! But he certainly couldn't mention the
strange sight in her parlor. When she returned with the tea and cookies,
they began to chat. The visitor tried his best to stifle his curiosity
about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better
of him and he could resist no longer. “Miss Bea” he said “ I wonder if
you would tell me about this? “ (pointing the bowl)” “Oh. Yes”, she replied,
“isn't it wonderful? I was walking down town last fall and I found this
little package. The directions said to put it on the organ. Keep it wet,
and it would prevent disease. And you know…I haven't had a cold all year.”
Smiling
is contagious, you catch it like the flu, When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too. I passed around the corner, and someone saw my grin - When he smiled I realized, I'd passed it on to him. I thought about that smile, then I realized its worth, A single smile, just like mine, could travel round the earth. So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected - Let's start an epidemic quick and get the world infected ! ! !

Most races are finished in the afternoon.
Pigeon flyers are also a product of evolution One day the pigeon predators could get this message! Racing pigeons is less hazardous than many other sports. It's a great feeling when your bird wins. How many race winners does it take to change a light bulb? Only
one. After winning a race, Hell! they feel like they can do anything. Waiting for the birds to arrive on a summer race day is good time
to have a cold one. The sport is mentally challenging. ADVISE
A man and his son went to town to buy a donkey. On the way home, the
man let the boy ride on the donkey while he walked along side. Soon a stranger
approached and said that he felt it was bad that an old man should walk
along while a young healthy boy was riding. The man changed places with
the boy and, was riding along when another stranger approached them and
said that it was terrible to see the boy walking in the hot sand etc.,
and that he too should ride the Donkey. They both got on the donkey and
pretty soon it got tired and collapsed. A passer-by suggested that they
should carry the donkey home. The man then told his son to take the front
end, and together they carried the donkey until they came to a bridge.
They were walking over the bridge when it started to sway and suddenly,
the donkey slipped from their grip and fell over the edge and drowned in
the water below. The moral to this story is that. If you listen to too
many people, you will loose your ass. An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully.
From morning until night, she was always complaining about something. The
only time he had any relief was when he was working in his field with his
mule. One day, when he was in the field and his wife brought his lunch.
He and the mule went to a shady spot and he began to eat his lunch. Immediately
his wife began to nag him again. Complaining, nag, nag. It continued without
end. Suddenly the old mule lashed out with both feet -- caught her smack
in the back of the head and killed her. At the funeral several days later,
the minister noticed something rather odd. When a woman mourner would approach
the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement;
but when a male mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then
shake his head in disagreement. This was so consistent, the minister decided
to ask the old farmer about it. So after the funeral, the ministerspoke
to the old farmer, and asked him why he nodded his head and agreed with
all the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with the men. The
old farmer said, "Well, the women would come up and say something about
how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nod my head
in agreement." "And what about the men?" the minister asked. "They wanted
to know if the mule was for sale."
Smiles are always free.
Almost every thing else requires this! The $1000.00 bill is the work of a friend. Patti.
