RAININ' CATS 'N' DOGS . . . 'N' CHICKENS

One moment of high humor was narrowly averted over the weekend as a tornado swept through a farm east of Beatrice, Neb., on Saturday, and flattened an enormous henhouse.

Days before, the farmer had moved the chickens out of it, so the loss of life, limb, comb and wattle was zero.

He said on TV that he had 80,000 chickens in there. If they’d been there when the tornado hit, who knows? They might have been sucked up into the vortex, cackling and squawking, and then spun out and down back to the ground all over southeastern Nebraska. It just makes a picture.

Of course, the next day was Easter. So if 80,000 scared chickens were dispersed like that, the Easter Bunny would have had a lot of help in distributing eggs hither, thither and yon. BAWK!!!
