Hot day in Southern California, Santa Anna Winds were doing their thing.

Bottom of one bag fell thru, and a couple 6 packs of brew hit the floor. Dad finished hauling in the rest of the bags then grabbed a beer to cool off. He popped the top, and FIZZ exploded everywhere. The bird, watching from his perch, just shook his head and said "Dummy!"

Dad said he wanted to toss the bird on the BBQ but figured he might fly to a tree and testify against him in court later.
