Late afternoon last friday a stork was observed near the riverside flying erratically as though struggling to stay aloft. A street chippy near Wat Phnom reported the illegal overflight to authorities while government officials pledged to pluck and cook the bird upon landing in a tin pot fashioned from old Funcinpec aircraft.

Return of the Sandman
