Funny Seagull Story

A couple decades ago I worked at a Federal Prison. We had a warden that was an animal lover and thought the birds were hungry. She issued a memorandum asking all staff to remember the birds and feed them. I being a good employee took her up on her request.

Backing up a little I have to tell you we had an entire warehouse full of Desert Storm dehydrated food or as the seagull called it, dessert storm. Because that's what happened when I had the inmates tear open the packages and feed the birds. Seagulls came from every direction. (This is in South Dakota.) Alfred Hitchcock could  have filmed his terror movie, "The Birds" right there at the prison. You're probably a step ahead of me and figured out that if you give a seagull dry food, you'll get a liquid mess. Bomb divers delivered their payload smack into the car windows of the employees.

The next day a new memo came out:  DON'T FEED THE BIRDS
