Para-Keets
someone: Why the hell do they have an open air petting area when the parakeets have no wings?
me: They have wings, they’re just clipped.
someone: What’s that mean?
me: Its like if they put a bunch of humans in the petting bin but removed their thumbs.
someone: What’s the purpose?
me: Keeps them from picking up phones, using doorknobs.
me: You mean the parakeets?
me: Keeps ‘em from flying away.
someone: So then what the point of the open air thing
me: You can pet them.
someone: Oh.
someone: They can’t fly long distance, or at all?
me: They can’t fly period.
someone: That’s just sick then. It’s like giving your declawed cat a scratching pole
me: Or giving a thumbless human a telephone.
