IT'S AN OSTRICH Part Deux!!!
On the second trip to the sand pit today the trailer driver in front of me slammed on his brakes, which caught me by surprise, I stepped out of my truck to ask him what his problem was. I didn't get the chance as he came running back to my truck yelling about something in the road. We both walked to the front of his Mack and sure enough there was a big ugly bird standing in the road. I said "Oh shit not again!"
The other driver was not sure what I had meant till I explained to him about the big ugly bird and the horse in Sanford.
He asked me what kind of bird it was, I told him it was an Emu and judging by the hole in the fence that's where it came from! The driver then asked me what do Emu's eat and I told him humans.... Didn't make him any more comfortable. As luck would have it a Johnston County Deputy pulled up and told us that the ugly bird had escaped three times this day. It was funny just watching the deputy herding the bird back into the pasture from which it came..
Meanwhile I explained to the distraught driver that Emu's, Ostriches, and Penguins were left off the evolutionary map and were left to their own devices but only the penguin was smart enough to figure out that wearing "formal dinner wear" would gain them much popularity.. The other two were just flightless, some what useless, occupants amongst the members of the food chain!!!
I don't think I made him feel any better!!!
This afternoon the foreman asked him about his "mirage"!!!
