Dear Readers:Which story is true? You decide.
For many years I'd asked myself this question: "Where, oh where, is Wonder Bird?" Finally, I located him (picture enclosed). Wonder Bird had control issues. As soon as I discovered him, he demanded we duel. So we squared off and stared at each other. Sometimes I crossed my eyes to gain advantage. He won of course (that's why they call him Wonder Bird), and I had to look away. But I did manage to give him something to remember me by. During our staring contest, the strain got to him, and he started to shake (I can cross my eyes for a long time). His veins were popping out all over his body, and he turned blue. I guess our fight did something permanent to his feet, because the blue never changed back.
Some people tell this story differently. They'd like you to believe my brother-in-law snapped this picture of a Blue-Footed Booby in the Galapagos Islands. That's one explanation, but it doesn't explain why his feet are blue. I think you'll agree my version is superior. My observations were studied under strictly controlled conditions and should pass muster with the scientific community. Also, my mine is the more pleasant one to read.
Until later.

Did your feet turn blue, too, from the bird staring cross-eyed at you?
Well, if I tell you, promise you won't tell anyone?
Huh-huh - you said "booby"! Huh-huh!
