WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BIRD WITH ONE WING AND A BIRD WITH
TWO WINGS? A DIFFERENCE OF A PINION.

Submitter comment: THIS IS A TYPE OF JOKE THAT I HAVE HEARD MORE THAN ONCE FROM MORE
THAN ONE PERSON IN THE UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT CHORUS. IT IS NOT
INTENDED TO STAND ALONE, BUT TO RATHER TYPIFY THE TYPR OF WIT THAT
RUNS LOOSE IN THE CHORUS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A
CLASSIFICATION FOR THINKING, BUT IF FOLKLORE CAN COVER CUSTOMS AND
HABITS, I FEEL IT SHOULD ALSO COVER THE THINKING PATTERNS BEHIND
THESE HABITS BECAUSE IN MANY CASES THEY ARE UNIQUE TO THE
PARTICULAR PEOPLE.
