On dinner, I told my colleague, SF, that once my friend and I did a naughty thing.
We asked a fortuneteller to divine my future by a bird,
and tried to figure out how the fortuneteller extrapolated things.
"Which species did the fortuneteller use?" asked SF.
I replied, "Java sparrow."
"That's boring. He should use Chinese bulbuls (a common species in Taiwan)"
"Aren't they too common to trigger mystique?"
"Yean, faintly in the big city."
"As to mimicry, I guess HELICONIUS would perform better."
".............................."
This is kind of occupational disease to young ecologists… I GUESS!
