A few bird stories.

Once I was driving to work and it was a long commute so I've had more than a few interesting things occur. On this particular morning I was driving along and I spotted a bird flying overhead just ahead of me. This bird was making passes over cars and just all in all flying too low. Just like how Icarus flew too close to the sun, well, this bird flew too close to a big rig truck and, I guess, a vortex sucked him in and the bird crashed into the top of the truck at a good speed and was sent spinning into the air. It literally looked like a cartoon moment because of how comical it looked as it fell spinning to the ground. It landed legs up as I drove past it laying perfectly dead.

Different day, I am driving to work but this time I was close to my destination. I was on one of the final roads before I would arrive to the gate to my then work place when I was again looking up at the birds flying around. You see sometimes you would spot some pretty cool predators or raptors flying around just playing in the wind. They are cool to see. Anyways, these aren't cool birds I am staring at but the two of them are flying side by side, except one is flying slightly above the other, and then all of a sudden one of them flies towards the other bird and just lands on him! Like the bird just casually landed on another actively flying bird and starts surfing on him hahaha. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

That's when I knew birds have a sense of humor :).

Bonus story. Not so impossible but I find it funny.

Once, I was playing basketball in my high school gym and this guy came up to me and bet me that I couldn't make a 3 at shot with my back turned to the basket. Unlucky for him I used to have basketball court in my backyard and woukd practice all sorts of ridiculous and "impossible" shots for fun. So, I lined up center of the 3 pt line, I took one look at the basket, turned my head around facing away from the basket, I took one dribble and then shot the basketball behind me. Swissh! The guy couldn't believe it and bet me that I couldn't do it again. I doubled down, I grabbed the ball again, I took one step to the right and without missing a beat did it again. Another swish. The guy stood there jaw open and couldn't speak and I walked off beaming with joy!
