Another Bronx Zoo Runaway, This Time A Bright Peacock Is Roaming NYC

» 4 comments

Just when you thought the New York City streets were safe and the Bronx Zoo finally knew where all their animals were, think again! A female peacock escaped the Bronx Zoo and repeated efforts to find it and return it home have proved unsuccessful.

Last March, the Bronx Zoo lost track of a cobra for six days. The brightly colored green peacock certainly isn’t as dangerous as the last runaway, but zoo officials are still hot on the trail. Nancy Clum, the zoo’s curator of ornithology said “I don’t know if she’s confused or adventurous,” but promised “we’ll get her eventually.”

    She’s actually on her way over to Manhatten, 30 Rock to be exact, to ask them what the ______ is going on over there lately.

    A Bright Peacock Is Roaming NYC? Probably a TV Nooz Hack. Probably a male, too. Everyone knows that male TV Nooz anchors are some of the most vain people walking the earth.

    Why are oil companies charging so much for their oil? Main reason is, because they can. Why can they? Because all the oil companies formed a CARTEL, a Cartel is a group of companies joined together and cooperates to STOP COMPETETION, a sort of clever method of PRICE FIXING. There is abundance of Crude Oil and they continue to raise the price until a large number of buyers stop buying, they then lower the price again until they start buying again. “They call this what the market will bear”. The people using these barrels of oil are (captive customers) which makes the business men suppliers look like greedy hard core profiteers. This does maximize their profits but they are killing the bees that make the Honey. Do they also think; “there are plenty more bees where they came from”?
    The Gasoline prices are pretty much the same. They raise the price of a gallon of gasoline until a large number of people quit buying, then they lower the price until everyone starts buying again. This is a sensible way of arriving at a price for products not related to the necessities of life. Price gouging on products produced for the necessities of life and economic stability and progress should be classed as a heinous act and unethical in all business. On the necessities of Life, people will buy till they go broke or die. That is no civilized way of setting prices.
    The only thing greedy business men understand is legislation. Legislation is like a contract. Every business man will tell you, when doing business never work without a contract. New Legislation should be implemented and adjusted frequently to keep business fair and running smoother.
