He was just going to the Apple store to get a new pair of headphones for his iPod Peck.

It's a fluffy-feathered pigeon; not a long-tail (ugh) bare-assed rat. BTW -- did the pigeon pay its fare?

Turn your phone 90 degrees to the right! Jeez!

Heck, pigeons have been riding the Staten Island Ferry every day since about 1905. The Ferryboat Pigeon is actually the official bird of Staten Island (check the official Seal of the Borough of Richmond--it's on there!).

freeloaders like this are the reason our fares are going up!

"whoops, wrong stop"

i hate it when that happens!

Damn farebeating pigeons. Give them a ticket!

Hope the little birdie found its way out again \o_o/

Yeah, where's the Big Strong Man to stomp on the innocent animal?

Or the Transit cop giving him a ticket for "theft of services"?

Interesting, when a rat comes aboard, people scream and even attempt to kill the bastard and when a pigeon is running around people feed it. They are both dirty vermin to me; do people realize they carry parasitic mites just like rat do?

parasitic mites that don't affect human beings.

Like many parasites, human beings are not its preferred target, but circumstances can still lead to their introduction. Nor can they survive on them alone, but can do plenty of damage and other unpleasantness trying to figure this out. Either way, I favor them no more that I do a rat.

You're just mad 'cause he wouldn't eat your stale popcorn.

Hew now, my popcorn is always top shelf...

Where's its bagel necklace?

Bagel necklace pigeon is most likely dead from being pecked to death by the other pigeons
