(Ture Story : This happened to me one morning with this young (and dumb) Aplomado Falcon....)

Looking straight at me, he asked: "Guess how many toes I have here Al ? "

" 3, you dumb bird..." I said. (Little did he realized, his other leg clearly showed 3 toes.)

....He then opened up his foot, yelled: " WRONG Alfred, 4 is correct !!! "

Laughing his head off, He kept shouting repeatedly : " Alfred, you're so STUPID.....STUPID.....STUPID...... "

.....I turned and walked away;
No time to waste on this @#%& Dumb Bird, really.

Your mind works in mysterious ways, but it takes good pictures! LOL

Haha...that was perfect! Even the tilt of the head in the second shot seems to convey the message you said

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
