Not actual pigeon
Taking to the streets of Walthamstow with The Infant for his early morning Saturday consitutional, I spotted a particularly scabrous, one-footed pigeon out for a scavenge. Ignoring the tasty discarded remnants of a Friday KFC (why do pigeons eat chicken – don’t they realise it’s cannibalism?), it carefully picked up a piece of twig and flew up to where I assume its nest was.
Watching this, I was struck by the realisation that, even though it was a vile, parasitic vermin, that pigeon was a parent.
(OK, we’ve reached the point where the punchline should be. But being an equal-opportunities offender, I’m going to give you a choice, delivered by the comedian of your choice. Here goes…)
“Just like poor people” – Jimmy Carr.
“Just like Tories, ladeezangennulmen” – Ben Elton.
“Something deeply offensive” – Frankie Boyle.
