"The keys to a successful bombing mission are firstly familiarity with the terrain"

Check!

"Secondly, access to target"

Check!

"Thirdly, planned trajectory; you must release your bomb load well before reaching your target, taking account of your height and airspeed. You calculate back from the intended point of impact."

Check!

"Finally, you need practice to get your understanding of the trajectory curve perfected."

Check!

This might have been the briefing in the nest. However, this particular pigeon on the wing ignored it and just crapped at will.

Will, enjoying morning coffee on his terrace, was not at all happy.

Yeeha!

    An almost true story. No pigeons were harmed in the writing of this. The name has been changed to protect the joke.

    They're the bane of my life. They crap everywhere, particularly on garden seats. And they've scared away the pretty collared doves. My pal shoots them. I'm too soft-hearted even though I love pigeon pie!

    Strikes a chord here, Neville. I've had a couple of tasty pies from wood pigeons with the temerity to raid my bird feeders.

    Thanks Chris. Maybe I should toughen up and club them!
