I got an email joke from a friend.
I don't share jokes often as they are prolific circulating in emails.
But I had to share this one!
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese. However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls. Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not ....... a Congress! I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington! |

So funny!
That does explain it - thanks!
Ha, that's a good one!!
Lets hope the baboons are offset by the owls.
Love it, perfect!
They were talking about this on the radio this morning. Must have gotten that same email.
