My uncle passed away relatively suddenly on Tuesday, and I'd like to share what is possibly the greatest long-game practical joke I've ever encountered, & one which should cement his place in the annals of history. A short 🧵 follows:

Turns out, my uncle, a grown-ass man, hadn't been staring at the bird, he'd spent years seeing if he could teach it to swear and this innocent Mynah bird had, in a thick Yorkshire accent, told a kid on a school trip to "fuck off", before chanting "Sheffield Wednesday".

Patient's wife asked me if his echo confirmed that he had a heart. This is a common joke, so I dutifully forced a laugh, and she followed it up with "great so can that machine tell us if he's got a fucken soul, then?" This job is great sometimes.

There's a rather large aviary near us. When I was a lot younger & my uncle visited from Rotherham, he used to be very excited to go so he could see his favourite Mynah bird. We wandered around the aviary, & he spent his time there staring at this bird through the mesh fence

This carried on for a few years, until suddenly the bird was no longer there, and had been replaced by a bird whose breed now escapes me all these years later. My father assumed the worst, & asked the staff if the bird had died.
