Funny is hard to do. This is funny: Joyce Newman misses her vulture.
She adopted it seven years ago, agreeing to pay $300 a year for its care. Usually she sent more, up to $1,000.
Initially the staff of the Pelican Man's Bird Sanctuary in Sarasota tried to steer her toward something smaller, maybe a blue jay.
Newman, a New Yorker in her 60s, said no way to the jay. "For $300 a year," she told them, "I want the biggest (bleeping) bird you got."
