My Own Strained Pun

       I jotted the following in January 2011 while watching the Australian Open men's semi-final:


       Strangest thing I've seen (and heard) on a tennis court, Federer halting play in the middle of Djokovic's bouncing of the ball before serving to ask for something to be removed from the court--a white feather stuck in the net--ball boy did so midst a bird's loud squawking from above.  Camera then showed another feather drifting into Djokovic's space just as he served.  Apparently Djokovic had two opponents today, Federer and the Featherer.

       Oh, I know.  Forgive me.

       (And anyway, Djokovic beat them both in three straight sets.)
