Operation "Freedom Fries" (Or How To Handle Bush Haters At The Beach)
Posted on 05/04/2003 9:07:29 PM PDT by Happy2BMe
A couple of guys told this true story they witnessed as they were coming out of a bank on US 101 in Florence, Oregon.
There was a group of protesters across the street shouting at passing cars and carrying signs saying that the USA was an aggressor, carrying pictures of President Bush with blood dripping from his hands.
Walking along the curb there appeared an individual dressed in red, white, and blue carrying a large bag of french (oops) "freedom" fries.
He proceeded to walk in front and behind the protesters and toss the fries at their feet He then proceeded on his way.
The vets watching thought this was some symbolic way of equating the protesters with the French.
Soon however, two or three, then a few, then several then hundreds of seagulls swooped down after the fries, defecating and pooping on the protesters.
That was the end of that protest as they fled the field.
Hooray for the seagulls!

Have to try that at the next protest I see.

A deep-ecology adherent - to be sure.
This single act displays more knowledge of natural phenomenon than any aggregate actions of 'Greenpeace' or the 'Sierra Club' put together.
Find this man and I'll give him the job of Secretary of the Interior in my first administration.

Ah, the Libertarians among the bunch will just smoke it.

The basic idea is sound. I would offer one refinement though - sprinkle a little of this on the fries before throwing them down.
You get the extra-added bonus of an instant swarm of yellowjackets in addition to the seagull poop. We used to put the stuff in people's cars in high school then leave their window open just enough for the critters to fly inside.

You may be onto yet another effective approach to the problem
away from the beach (e.g., San Francisco, NYC, etc.)
Catches "Queens" and "Workers" . .
