I am suspicious now that those orioles themselves are racists. You can never be too sure these days. Sports team names. Colleges. Bridges. Those birds? Sometimes they look at me kind of funny. They turn away or fly when they see me staring at them. They may be onto me. Now I can't forget. Wish I hadn't heard that guy's story.
