I mentioned this in my trip report, however, I forgot to post the pictures...in the evenings when we were driving back from dinner, we found that flamingo tipping was a lot of fun. Plus, it's much easier than cow tipping as they are already standing on one leg. The hardest part was sneaking up on them (and walking through the marsh).

How much should one tip a cow? I mean is a bunch of grass enough or should one tip in cash and make sure that the farmer gets his/her cut of the tip?

If one drinks only 2% milk, is a 2% tip enough?

Just asking,

mare

I was looking for something from Alice in Wonderland about using flamingos as golf clubs to hit hedgehogs, but I couldn't find it. I did find
Flamingo Golf

Is it true the Americans tend to tip the Flamingos MORE than Europeans?

 

Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Mare (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #731) on Thursday, April 7, 2005 - 3:17 pm:     Edit PostPrint Post

I would think the Americans tip more cows than Flamingoes.

And, I would guess that once you tip a cow more than 50%, it will fall over.

Just applying simple physics ... (how's that for an oxymoron?)

Am I having a Dan Quale moment?

Is the plural of flamingo
flamingoes or flamingos?

Is a flamingo like a tomato?
Two flamingoes eat too many tomatoes?

(I've lost my mind.)

Cynde, It's no wonder you had to resort to clubbing the flamingos. You were trying to feed them green grapes - everyone knows they only like the BT purple grapes!

uh, the "Quail" (above) looks more like a Bobwhite... but we understand, given the donkey's influence.

Here's a pic of a Quail...
