Something tells me I wouldn't want to put that sand-encrusted contact back in my eye. Or retrieve it from the inside of the pigeon. 😂

Francis should train the pigeons to pick up loose change they come across while searching for the contact lens. He could pay them a commission as an incentive.

Fun, as always, Mark.

Double genius! That’s using the old noodle.

Thanks, K.C. 🤓

Did he not consider the probability that one of the pigeons might swallow the lens by accident?

That is always a possibility with birds. But I think they like bread better than space-age polymers.

I saw the photo and thought you were doing a “real life” variation of your two cartoon guys on the bench. But you went in a low dialog direction. Still works!

I probably could have made it a "three-line conversation." But when I saw the photo, I thought of pigeons looking for something so that is the way I went.

Thanks, Jack.
