"Winkie, a pigeon that flew 129 miles with her wings clogged with oil to
save a downed bomber crew."

This could have been changed to;

"Winkie, a pigeon, flew 129 miles with her wings clogged with oil."

"A downed bomber crew was saved."

The causality needs removing to prevent mental disturbance to people who
think that pigeons are short on altruism and long on homing instinct.

Pidgin english.

 

OK, who saw Ken Campbell's Macbeth [MAKBED][1] in Pidgin English? IIRC,
it was his project for the Millennium, so it's probably not being
performed any more. If he revives it though, recommended. In fact his
one man shows are of the must see variety.

PS it's 'blong' and not 'belong'. I remember that much.
