"Hey, Big Bird, what's wrong?"
"Hi Susan. I'm just thinking about...my cousin."
"I didn't know you had a cousin. Are they okay?"
"I don't talk about her much. She lives in Australia. And yesterday she...killed another tourist."
"Oh my god!"
"It's terrible. But as they say down there..."

"If you encounter a cassowary,
Stay the fuck away 'casue they're really scary,
There won't be enough left of you to bury,
Even if it's far away you should be wary..."
