I wonder if the ostriches and opossums could live together? And what they'd eat? I think possums will eat about anything.

I saved the article about Beauregard for years. Thought it was funny.

Didja hear about the two girl ostriches strutting through the veldt, wagging their tails, trying to act as if they hadn't seen the two boy ostriches following them?

Yep, these girls were having fun, sneaking a peek now and then to make sure the boys were still there, practicing their most suggestive wiggles.

After a while the boys made their presence obvious, getting closer and closer, making what they hoped to be flattering comments.

The girl ostriches got nervous. They had been flirting, but didn't want to go past that.

Finally one of them said to the other, "On the count of three, let's get out of here!!"

The second girl ostrich agreed, and the first one counted. At "three", they both stopped, bent over, and stuck their heads in the sand.

At this, the two boy ostriches, who were almost on top of them, stopped.

One of them finally said to the other,

"Where did they go?"
