Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead
crows near Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have
died from Avian Flu.

They had a Bird Pathologist examine the remains of all the crows, and,
to everyone's relief, he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian
Flu.
However, he determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact
with trucks, & only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
Massachusetts then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine the
cause of the disproportionate percentages for truck kills versus car kills.

The Ornithological Behaviorist determined the cause in short order:

When crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby
tree, to warn of impending danger.
His conclusion was that, while all the lookout crows could say "Cah",
none could say "Truck."

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.

Speaking of puns:

A group of clowns rent furnished flats in London, but are annoyed to
discover they haven't been provided with ironing boards. So they go to
complain to their landlord.
"It's in the contract," says the landlord. "You lot have to use your
window sills. Every clown has a sill for ironing."
