We are familiar with a
Herd of cows,
A Flock of Chickens,
A School of fish,
And a Gaggle of geese.
However, less widely known is
A Pride of lions,
A Murder of crows
(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),
An Exaltation of doves or larks,
And, presumably because they look so wise:
A Parliament of owls.
Now consider a group of Baboons. Baboons (according to the email I received) are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.
And what is the proper collective noun
for a group of baboons?
Believe it or not . . . a CONGRESS!
A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!
That pretty much explains the things
that come out of Washington!
