Once upon a time, the Washington Biological Survey banded a bunch of
crows for a survey of some sort. The crows were banded, and the band
said, Wash. Biol. Surv. Later, the band was returned with the
following note;
"We did what you said . We washed it, and bioled it and surved
it. It was turrible!"
