Bird of a Feather Stick Together
My morning run started out with a neighbor's little yapper dog chasing me down the street. Then it was on to the local elementary school down the road. As I came over the hill of the back entrance to the school I spotted two black vultures perched on the fence near the driveway. I saw them last week too, but they just stood there and watched so I didn't think anything of them sitting on the fence. That is until one hopped down and started RUNNING AFTER ME! I couldn't even believe that I was sprinting because a big mean bird was chasing me-I had no other choice. As if that wasn't bad enough the second one took off in order to initiate an air strike! So, I am sprinting for cover while one bird is nipping at my heals and the other is swooping aiming for my jugular!! I even caught myself saying out loud, "You gotta be kidding me, what do you guys want from me!?" Thank the Lord for those covered walkways because that's where I took cover.
As I approached the entrance to the school on the way back I looked on the side of the road for something in order to defend myself from these brutal birds. After running 6 miles I wasn't in the mood for this bird business so I was going to be the one doing the attacking this time around. I searched for an ax, hammer, sawed off shotgun (? sounds like something you may find on the side of the road down south!). Surprisingly, I wasn't able to find any of those items so I decided to take a safer birdless route for the last leg of my run. I'll take those pesky fly attacks any day over the vultures!!

That is the craziest story I've ever heard!!! I'm glad you're all right.
Too bad you didn't get this on video. You may have won some money from America's Funniest Video!!!
