Feeling the Pelican Pressure

Day 3 of the AOG, the Alternative Olympic Games.

The 3 pelicans are part of the United States Olympic team. They are taking part in the new Olympic event...the 3-bird bobsled.

Believe it or not, even world class athletes like these 3 are having the jitters about next weeks race.

And...believe it or not...their names are Ed, Jed, and Ned. Ed is the big boy in front, and he is the driver. Jed and Ned are in the back, and they are his runners.

It went like this:

JED and NED: (They always speak in unison) "Hey Ed, we think we've been misled...and we're beginning to dread...the decision to be in the sled."

ED: "Listen to me Jed and Ned! You're starting to sound like blockheads! You 2 run like thoroughbreds! You really can man this sled!"

JED and NED: "This is really tough work Ed. Do you think we can get some meds?"

ED: "WE RUN A CLEAN SPREAD JED AND NED! THERE WILL BE NO MEDS ON THIS SLED! WE ONLY USE OUR WINGSPREADS TO GET AHEAD"

JED and NED: "Tell us again Ed. We getting any bread to push this sled?"

ED: " Are you 2 knuckleheads brain-dead? We're amateurs! I know this is known widespread...YOU WERE BRED TO PUSH THIS SLED!"

JED and NED: OK Ed! We're ready to knock 'em dead! We're ready to go head-to-head! We're ready to push this sled!"

ED: (Thinking quietly to himself.) Instead of Jed and Ned...should I have chosen Fred and Ted?

Stay tuned.
