Do you're telling me that it had nothing to do with swallows being either European or African?!

It could grip it by the husk.

It’s not a matter of where it grips it! It’s a matter of weight ratios!

I’m so glad that this 50-year-old joke is still funny.

Good jokes never die, nor do Black Knights.

A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut.

Depends. Does the coconut weigh more than a duck?

I don't know, I wasn't expecting some kind of Spanish Inquisition.

No one ever does

Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?

But then of course, uh, African swallows are non-migratory.
