Thank you, David, for throwing me under the bus. Listen, I'm very appreciative that I at least have this room. I could have been outside on the grass under the rain, so I'm happy.

Way too tall. I had a breakfast that I attended with the mayor this morning. Whoa! No, it wasn't just me and the mayor. It was me and a lot of people in the mayor. But it was just one of those breakfasts. You know, I try to be respectful when I attend those power breakfasts, so to speak. Billy Corbin there, too?

Yep, that's the official start of really winter in South Florida, and that's telling you how late it's coming. Generally speaking, it was always judged by the turkey vultures that come to the courthouse. These vultures all come down here for the winter. They're coming up from up north, they migrate down, and they look for high buildings to perch on.

There was a big issue at the courthouse for a long time because they released a lot of fecal excrement that kind of stained the windows and made the courthouse look like a snow-covered mountain there for a little while. But this is a cyclical thing that happens every year in South Florida. Originally, like I said, was the label of the start of winter in Florida is when you see all these vultures.

You know, people who go down to, for instance, Everglades National Park, there's a huge problem. What the hell is Samson doing? Picking his teeth?

Talk about my cluttered office and you're picking crap out of your teeth in front of me.

Anyway, back to the vultures. They will go down. For instance, if you go to Everglades National Park during the winter and you park your car, let's say, down at Anhinga Trail, you'll see a bunch of tarps that the National Park Service provides for you to cover your car. Please use them.

Because the vultures down there will literally strip your windshield wipers off and then strip the rubber seal all around your windshield and windows on the vehicle. Nobody knows why they do it. It seems like it's part of practice for them, kind of like... stripping hard skin off of dead animals to start their feeding.

But it's a big problem that the National Park Service has been facing now for several years. So these vultures, you know, they become quite bold. They can be a little bit destructive, though they play a very important role. Let's face the facts. They take away these decaying dead animals that can spread a lot of disease. They have a couple of gross habits.

I mean, one of the grossest habits that vultures have is to cool themselves off. They literally poop all over their legs. So then they crap on their legs and as it evaporates, it cools them off. That's part of the way to cool them off.

Another really kind of unfortunate habit that they have is if you corner them, instead of trying to peck you, what they do is they projectile vomit to you, like an exorcist type thing where it just comes out. And, you know, vomit by itself is already bad, but vomit of decaying dead animals that they have been eating, that'll make you an instant gag reflex.
