    Re: I need a stuffed pigeon...

    A customer enters a pet shop.

    Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.

    (The owner does not respond.)

    C: 'Ello, Miss?
    Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
    C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
    O: We're closin' for lunch.
    C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this Pigeon what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
    O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
    C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
    O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
    C: Look, matey, I know a dead Pigeon when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
    O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, isn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
    C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
    O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
    C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
    (shouting at the cage)
    'Ello, Mister Polly Pigeon! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
    O: There, he moved!
    C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
    O: I never!!
    C: Yes, you did!
    O: I never, never did anything...
    C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
    (Takes Pigeon out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
    C: Now that's what I call a dead Pigeon.
    O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
    C: STUNNED?!?
    O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
    C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That Pigeon is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
    O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
    C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
    O: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, innit, squire? Lovely plumage!
    C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that Pigeon when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
    (pause)
    O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
    C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
    O: No no! 'E's pining!
    C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This Pigeon is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX- Pigeon!!
    (pause)
    O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
    (he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
    O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of Pigeons.
    C: I see. I see, I get the picture.
    O: I got a slug.
    (pause)
    C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?
    O: Nnnnot really.
    C: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
    O: Look, if you go to my brother's pet shop in Bolton, he'll replace the Pigeon for you.
    C: Bolton, eh? Very well.
    The customer leaves.
    The customer enters the same pet shop. The owner is putting on a false moustache.
    C: This is Bolton, is it?
    O: (with a fake mustache) No, it's Ipswich.
    C: (looking at the camera) That's inter-city rail for you.
    The customer goes to the train station.
    He addresses a man standing behind a desk marked "Complaints".
    C: I wish to complain, British-Railways Person.
    Attendant: I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS JOB, YOU KNOW!!!
    C: I beg your pardon...?
    A: I'm a qualified brain surgeon! I only do this job because I like being my own boss!
    C: Excuse me, this is irrelevant, isn't it?
    A: Yeah, well it's not easy to pad these python files out to 200 lines, you know.
    C: Well, I wish to complain. I got on the Bolton train and found myself deposited here in Ipswich.
    A: No, this is Bolton.
    C: (to the camera) The pet shop man's brother was lying!!
    A: Can't blame British Rail for that.
    C: In that case, I shall return to the pet shop!
    He does.
    C: I understand this IS Bolton.
    O: (still with the fake mustache) Yes?
    C: You told me it was Ipswich!
    O: ...It was a pun.
    C: (pause) A PUN?!?
    O: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?
    C: (Long pause) A palindrome...? O: Yeah, that's it!
    C: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!!
    O: Well, what do you want?
    C: I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any longer as I think this is getting too silly!

    Re: I need a stuffed pigeon...

    One for Hotpot?

    Stuffed Pigeon / Peristeria Gemista


    This Macedonian recipe makes an elaborate holiday meal. If you can't get pigeon, substitute the poultry of your choice. The sweet stuffing is really great.


    Ingredients
    4 whole pigeons, cleaned
    chopped pigeon livers - if you’re able to reserve them
    1/2 cup butter
    1/2 cup Greek Kefalotiri, in small chunks
    1/2 cup rice
    1/4 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
    1/4 cup raisins
    1 small onion, chopped
    salt & pepper
    2 lemons
    Par boil the rice in salt water for 10 minutes and drain. In a skillet, heat the butter and fry the onions with the livers. Add the rice, salt & pepper, walnuts, raisins, and cheese. Toss it all together, mixing well.

    Remove the stuffing from the heat and set it aside. Take your pigeons and salt & pepper them and squeeze lemon juice on them - inside and out. Stuff the pigeons with the rice mixture and sew the cavity closed. Arrange them in a pan and drizzle them with olive oil. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the pan then cover it and bake for 1 hour or until done. Remove the foil for the final 10 minutes so they brown.

    If I saw this post on the work noticeboard, I would assume someone had not locked their workstation. I don't think anyone should help until the OP explains his intent with this pidgeon!

    The writing style is very Zakk-like though. Maybe he is into voodoo
