Hm, I have read this quite a few times by now.
But I don't get the joke.
(I got the ibis one, and the watermelon one, but not the egret one)
Maybe it is because I am not a native English speaker ...
I had to look up the word "egrets" - ok, that's some white bird feeding on fish.
Doesn't help to get the joke ...
Could someone please explain?
Thanks!
