Audubon Society

In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time.

(I guesss this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)

Not sure why I really started the post that way, but it was pretty wierd, s'all.

Anyway, haven't posted in so long, and so I've decided to recant with a story from Detroit.

My cousin Howard is uh..extremely patriotic and so we were debating the eternal, never ending argument which is, who is better...

No, not Jay-Z and Nas. The argument I'M talking about is CANADA VS THE US!!

It all started when he asked me when I was graduating.

"Dude, time flies ehh??" I babbled. "I'll be done next year!"

He looked at me, shocked. "Yeah, time does flie; you're already in gr 12?"

Me: "HUH???"

Him: "HUHH??"

Then I realized where he was coming from; "Ohh dudde, we dont' have grade 13 no more. So kids graduate in grade 12."

Howard smirked, "soooo. Canada finally realized that gr 13 is stupid righ?? OH LORDY WORDY!! Canada finally admitted that they're wrong and the rest of the world is RIGHT! AHA!!"

"yo.." I motioned behind him. "You probably shouldn't yell, I mean, your 1 month baby daughter is sleeping right behind you."

He waved dismissively, while chortling "ahhaha...again, proof that the US of A rules supreme!!"

It was my turn to shake my head. "Yo, thats the attitude that makes USA so hated in the world."

He looked shocked again. "..wha-at? us? hated??"

"Buddy," I lectured. "Look at Canada. We're so loved in the world. Then look how crazy the US. is; You got wacko people like......wacko jacko running around--and dude was aquitted too!"

Howard looked more sure of himself: " 'Buddy' ", he mocked, "we all know that the US isn't crazy. We're just aggresive! Anyway, Canada's too passive."

This escalated into a shouting match consisting of him yelling: "go curling canuck!" which I responded with "just show me proof! where are the WMD???"

This reminds me of a time in my civics class, back at Turner Fenton. Teacher was a dude called Mr. Rothberg, a jew, who claimed he hitchhiked across Germany. So yeh, you know the type: nice guy, tries too hard.

Anyway, it was a few weeks left in school, and we were talking abot enviromental politics, and he was showing us some examples of the more powerful enviromental lobbying groups.

Among them was the Audubon Society.

If you do not know what the Audubon Society is, then stop reading.

So one of the students asks, "What is the Audubon Society?"(Bird watchers, if you ignored my previous instructions.)

Towhich the professor replies:"I don't know, I think it's a group to protect that road in Germany."

Since he had actually assigned us as homework to research this very Society, it hit me like a spear.

"He did not just say that, did he?" I thinkto myself. I look up -- and he's serious.

"That's Auto-BAHN, not Audubon!" I fairly shout, only to be drowned out by thec horus of students in the back who are either laughing or yelling,"Birds! Birds!"

"What?" He says.

I reply, "It's a group organized for the protection of birds."

Hhe stays silent for a moment, then responds, "Well, what kind of birdis an audubon, is it a spotted owl or something?"
