I have no idea why angry swans in Norway were in such a fowl mood; so I decided to wing it and attempted to keep abreast of what exactly ruffled their feathers. This exchange occurred in the borough of Bergenhus in the city of Bergen in Vestland county. The conversation — from what I gathered, as Norwegian was spoken — was apparently as follows…
Angry Swans in Norway. Sunday Morning Photograph.
“I really can’t stand that odd looking stupid short-necked swan with all of the weird colorings following me around all over the place and constantly calling me an ugly duckling — whatever that is. I’m gonna have to bring up the creepy little runt to those turkeys that I call my colleagues and nip this in the bud once and for all.”
“Hey, Bill! I wanna call a meeting right now! Stop everything you’re doing and get over here. That’s an order, birdbrain!”
“I don’t know who you think you are, Swanson; but if you squawk at me like that again, that will be your swan song. I spit on you. Got it, pal?!?”
“No, I don’t got it, you flockin’ beak-faced moron. This is a big problem. I want you to nip it in the bud right now!!!”
“How’s this for nipping it in the bud, you long pain in the neck?!?”
“OUCH!!!”
Final Boarding Call
Well — maybe that was not exactly what happened. What can I tells ya…?!?
