Elaine Myers sent the following letter (response sent from mail@cartalk.com).

I'm responding to the caller this week who noticed that the birds crapped more on his green car than his white car. I also have an interesting observation. Next to our office there are many purple-martin houses, and each spring, when the babies are born and require constant feeding, there is A LOT of bird traffic over our parking lot. I can park my car there for days with my windows rolled up, and the car is virtually untouched by "released cargo." But as soon as I roll the window down JUST A FEW INCHES, there will always be bird doo on the driver's seat. (Yes, the doo does come down at an angle--maybe we can investigate the trajectory qualities of this subject at a later date!) I don't know which is more preposterous--that all of this is coincidence, or that the birds really do have the technology of the Patriot missile embedded in their instincts!

(By the way, I'm from the South, and I take great pride in the fact that I passed the Residency Application test. I'm sure it's much harder than the one for Massachusetts!)
