Why would you bring a pigeon to a knife fight?

E: according to the article, she hit him with the pigeon and then pulled a knife on him after he escorted her outside, so she actually brought a knife to a pigeon fight.

When I type "pigeon", my phone wants to suggest "forge" as the next word. I have no idea what a pigeon forge is, but boy howdy does that phrase conjure up some interesting mental images.

Little known fact, more than 75% of pigeons in New York City can be traced genetically to the pigeon works there. It's said that prior to the Civil War, they could smelt up to 50,000 pigeons an hour, but they never recovered from the destruction of Schofield's siege.

It's also where the FBI was founded. Originally it was set up as a task force to find out how to recover from the destruction and called the Flying Bird (what they used to call pigeons in the South) Investigation. While it was unsuccessful in it's original role the framework was used to build what we all know and love today as the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

They also used to try to use pidgeons to guide anti ship missles in world war 2 but it never really got used in combat. Wait were we meant to posting real or fake facts?

Pigeons are able to see magnetic fields, which is why until recently trained pigeons were an essential part of the secret service.

However, at the insistence of then-VP Cheney, the pigeon program went the way of the dodo

But a wine glass, though? Surely there's other non-drinkers in political circles, and surely they don't, like, sip water from a wine glass.

Also the bouquet of a soda isn't really going to be affected by the shape of the glass.

I'm not political but I don't drink and if I'm at a function I'll often end up with a wine glass of something soft to avoid messing up the photos.

I assume that the standard practise is to change his ties between every course in case it has drool on it.

If it's the only glass ordered to you, you use it because otherwise you have to ask and are therefore pointing out to your hosts that they suck.
