"For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil."
As Paulie stared past his reflection into the shimmering glass, he realized he was looking into the depths of avian hell, and must change his ways lest he wind up sharing the same fate as the the poor, poor birds before him.
He never pooped on a windshield again.
"These tanning salons are really getting out of hand..."
Mommy....

"Thank God I know how to fly."
It's so hard...to say goodbye
