    When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when a tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It’s a stiff!... THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!
