“he gall of some gulls! Catch this scenario: The brown pelican dives into a school of fish and comes up with a pouch full of protein; the laughing gull, hanging around for a heist, swipes some mullet for his gullet. Poor pelican—gulled again. Ha, ha, ha, laughs the laughing gull, who always leaves them laughing. Wouldn’t you think the plundered pelican would get wise to this pickpocketry? He’s not the biggest brain in the brine, but he has been through a lot of schools.” - Charley Harper
