A sign on the street with a yellow piece of paper that says warning, aggressive birds ahead, hawk activity reported, proceed with caution

Not now hawk, read the room.

Umbrella stand!

My exact inner monologue this morning when I opened the drapes!

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?
