Ice creams are small stuff…I’ve seen these guys fly away with the whole bag (extra large Costco-type size) of potato chips, then tear it open quicker than I could.

I got all excited there for a moment after my brain subconsciously inserted “Led” in front of “Zeppelin.”

For those who are wondering, the last picture at least appears to be taken in Friedrichshafen, Germany, home of the Zeppelin museum. The body of water is Lake Constance, the shoreline of which is divided among Bavarian Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

I love the 4th one where the man looks mad and the woman is laughing in the background with her hand over her mouth!

What’s really awful is that most of those people are in mid-lick. Must. Not. Laugh.

It’s like being at Sea World in San Diego; they have signs posted everywhere at the food courts giving fair warning. Wires criss cross the dolphin tanks where folks can hand feed the dolphins, and those lovely giant, brazen, birds will come anyhow and take the fish right ‘outta mid air, your hand or even the bag! Gotta love em. I think Alfred Hitchcock was right to use them as his poster children in the movie! LOL I still love them though.
