About We have an expression in England: 'hard to swallow' ~ it means 'difficult to believe'. I just got home from an inter-church cricket match in which I took a wicket bowling AND scored the winning runs with a boundary. THAT'S what we'd call 'hard to swallow' ~ only it just happens to be true!!! :-) (More by luck than judgment I must confess?

Hence this image!! Another of my play-on-words series.

Hope you get it! Hope you like it!

And thank you, Altaf, for fixing the bug so speedily!!

Best regards to all,

Chris

OK, poking around some of your portfolio, I am seeing what a clever person you are! You have a great eye to capture the most interesting subjects. Were the swallows really perched like this?

I'll bet your congregation enjoys your sense of humor!

Hi Chris, You crack me up, here... Excellent pun and very creative work. It's always the odd one out that attracts (and deserves) all of the attention...:) Very funny indeed!

Won't go into specifics, as those are clearly not the issue here, although I must admit, I'm glad you layed off the sketchy filter....

Still laughing,

Cheers,

Hugo

Alternatively it could be called, "One down, three to go." The thing I find hard to swallow is that the birds should all be identical. Obviously they were identical quadruplets.
