Hunting Where The Ducks Are

[Guest TheProudDuck]

From England's Guardian newspaper:

"The Church of England said yesterday that police counter-terrorism operations were directed disproportionately against Muslims and risked alienating them."

In other news, a CoE bishop was recently spotted sitting with a shotgun in a duck blind he'd erected in Trafalgar Square. When questioned why, he answered that hunting where the ducks were risked alienating ducks.

Obligatory smilie?

Just a little British humor. Smiling would be uncharacteristic and completely undignified!

Yeah, you know, like this --------> or this ------> or this ----> It helps those who don't know that you are joking, especially when it isn't obvious.

OK, to clarify:

From England's Guardian newspaper: ( = straight face)

"The Church of England said yesterday that police counter-terrorism operations were directed disproportionately against Muslims and risked alienating them."

In other news, a CoE bishop was recently spotted sitting with a shotgun in a duck blind he'd erected in Trafalgar Square. When questioned why, he answered that hunting where the ducks were risked alienating ducks.

I wonder what portion of terrorism that the world is trying to counter is committed by, oh, say, Muslims?

Well Snow, it seems wierd to them because they're so used to dealing with Catholics.
