Four-Legged Birds in Wisconsin

by

Show for 300-400 in La Crosse, WI at Viterbo University – home of the Viterbo V-Hawks (what?). Me: Name a four-legged animal. Her: Bird! Audience: ha! 45 minutes later: Me: What is your school’s mascot here? Them: V-Hawk! Me: What the hell is a V-hawk. Hilarious audience member: It’s a four-legged bird! LOVED IT.

The mobile notes section will be filled with a different type of notes than usual. Many mobile notes will be microblog style brief thoughts and observations.
