Because It's Better To Be Irrational With Me Than Rational With Someone Else

We Provide The Waste Which Feeds The Squirrels Which Feeds The Hawk Which Then Becomes Our Urban Legend

So I say to him, that no joke, we have a hawk living on our campus. No way, you're totally lying, he exclaimed. So this guy, does not believe me, even though he is entering his third year here. Dude, seriously, a freaking big ass hawk. I promise if you hang around the quad you'll see it. Spreading its wings and hovering above your head until it sees a squirrel, it dives and catches it with its huge pointy beak. No way, that is completely made up, you made it up, he is now almost upset. No, dude, seriously, would I lie about a fucking hawk? Shit, I hate stupid birds, but this shit is here and it's killing my precious squirrels. Have you noticed how the squirrel population on our campus declined? HAVE YOU? No way, you should chill, this is all made up shit. No way that could be true. But dude... No way, I ain't listening anymore. And he walked away.

�So, this hawk we have. They put a camera next to its nest, so they can watch its patterns and what-not,� our group's new Grad says.
�YOU SAW IT TOO?!� I exclaim.
�Yea. Look if you don't believe me, it's there on that building. Those Bio people are watching it.�
�Don't tell me it prays on the squirrels....�
�I would not be surprised if it did. I did notice less squirrels are looking through trash for food.� He ponders the thought. �Did you ever see it dive for one?�
�Dive from one building to another, that's as much as diving I saw. But i'm pretty sure a squirrel-a-day is how he keeps that nice shine to his feathers...�

The Moral of the story: the next time I tell you an outlandishly ridiculous story, believe it. I don't have the patience or the imagination to make stuff up. Especially hawk-related. Geez..
