Sparrow shot for knocking over dominoes
I heard about this bird that got shot for knocking over dominoes while the folks were trying to break some domino run.
"The bird was shot by an exterminator with an air rifle while cowering in a corner."
Maybe I am a bit of an odd duck but it's hard not to empathize with the bird. I find myself imagining what it would be like to be a bird happily flying through a window into a giant hall and then suddenly finding that I had pissed off some obsessive compulsize dutch domino fanatics that would normally not hunt down a happy sparrow but due to circumstances beyond the normal expectations they needed someone to pay. It at least would make a great scene in a novel to highlight the futility of life at all levels.

Hey bro,
It was great to see you guys last week!!! I cherish the arm hickey Madeline gave me and have showed it off to many admirers. So sorry we didn't get a chance to pick up a cool gift before coming over, but we will bring one over soon.
Miss you guys & hope you are doing great!!
Love,
Lisa
