As the song says, it’s better than digging a ditch

Kirk must have realized that we haven’t marvelled at the cleverness of birds lately, so he sent in a story from the car wash (talking ’bout the car wash…), wherein a car wash operator was convinced that his employees were stealing from the coin-operated machines, so he set up a little stakeout, and what do you suppose he found? Well, you may recall that we mentioned clever birds a very short while ago, and indeed it was clever birds that he found – one would actually crawl into the machine and pull out quarters (possibly because they were shiny), while others would take the coins and fly away. Now, consider for a second that it’s not just the shinyness that attracted the birds – maybe the animal kingdom has a bankroll! OK, maybe not, but birds are clever.
