Wednesday's Question (No. 339)--"Bird in Hand":

On Nov. 6 in New Jersey, volunteers opened crates and pulled out pheasants, then, holding them by the legs, spun the birds around to make them dizzy; this is one feature of a program whose uneasy combination of private and state funding is drawing increasing criticism nationwide. What is the program called?

"The Beta Kappa Phi-Audubon Society's new public access show, Dude, Let's Birdwatch!"--Colleen Werthmann

"Is this the program where Pete Singer comes down from Princeton and selects which dizzy pheasant dies?"--Michael Doyle (David Rothschild had a similar answer.)

"Robert Byrd Can Appropriate Money for Anything He Damn Well Pleases Game-Swingin' Day."--Matt Heimer

"I'm not sure, but I think it's safe to assume that Charlton Heston's for it, Paul McCartney's against, and Pamela Anderson … well, she has some very large breasts."--Peter Carlin

"We call it, 'I Remember Papa.' Ah, and I do, I remember very well. Hemingway and I would carry the crates. Papa, he was a big man, and I not so large, so I would curse and sweat in the tropical island heat, and Papa would laugh and stop from time to time to pull at his brown bottle. Then we would open the crates and remove the birds and begin the flingando. Perhaps you have seen this, señor? We spin the birds around and around, then release them. Papa believed that in their confused flight you could see the hand of God. He was a very spiritual man, señor. Some of the birds, however, would just fly straight up and dive down into the ground, embedding their beaks like the Daffy Duck of the gringo cartoon features. Then we would laugh and laugh and laugh, until he passed out, and I would steal his wallet."--Floyd Elliot
