Cullo: There was a symphony in the park the other day.
Mattis: Nice. It’s an annual thing, right?
Cullo: Yeah. Oh, and we saw a Sandhill crane poking about near the lake.
Mattis: Nice. The only thing I know about Sandhill cranes is that they’re considered the tastiest bird; "ribeye of the sky," they say. Hunters constantly talk about how criminal it is that they can’t be hunted.
Cullo: Same day I saw a guy in a scooter with a gun.
Mattis: That's funny. Probably better than the roadkill.
Cullo: Probably fresher, if nothing else.
Mattis: That reminds me that my aunt and uncle got married there, on the grass near the lake.
Cullo: Lovely.
Mattis: Right in the middle of the ceremony these Canadian geese landed and started honking.
Cullo: Of course they did.
Mattis: Well, my grandfather couldn't ignore the distraction and instead adds to the noise, in his booming voice, with "Someone should be out here killin' the GOD... DAMNED... BUZZARDS!" The officiant: "Do you take this woman..."
