A recent Alberta Government study, has found over 200 dead crows near
Calgary, Alberta and there was concern that they may have died from the
Avian Flu virus. A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the
crows, and he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, to
everyone's relief.
However, he was also able to determine that 98% of the
crows had been killed by impact with large trucks, and only 2% were
killed by car impact.
The Provincial Government hired an Ornithological
Behaviorist from Toronto to determine the disproportionate percentages
for the large truck versus car kills .The Ornithological Behaviorist
determined the cause in short order. When crows eat road kill, they
always set-up a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending
danger.
His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say "Cah", but
he could not say "Truck."
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, ... you got a better one?)

Yes. And it has woodworking relevance.
A Chinese woodcarver noticed his stock of expensive wood was diminishing
rather rapidly. Further investigation revealed toddler-sized footprints on
the shop's sawdust floor! Resolving to catch the thief, the woodcarver hid
himself in his shop that night.
Sure enough, during the dark of the moon, the Chinaman heard a noise.
Leaping from his hiding place, he switched on the light.
Standing before him was a seven-foot tall bear, arms full of wood!
Thinking quickly, the woodcarver shouted: "Ah ha! I caught you, barefoot boy
with teak of Chan!"
