“It’s a simple question of weight ratios. A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 lb. coconut. ... In order to maintain air speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?”
”It could be carried by an African Swallow.”
“Oh, yeah. An African Swallow, maybe. But not a European Swallow--that’s my point!”
”Oh, yeah. I agree with that!”
“But then, of course, African Swallows are not migratory...”
”Ohhh, yeah...”
“So they couldn’t bring a coconut back anyway.”
”Wait a minute!! Supposin’ TWO swallows carried it together?”
“Nawww, they’d hafta have a line.”
”Well, simple! They’d just use a strand of creeper!”
“Wot? Held together under the dorsal guiding feathers??”
”Why not?!”
