Shamus had not quite got his head around the phrase, keep your pecker up.

For centuries, man has attempted to harness the uncanny navigational ability of homing pigeons. Modern technology has finally brought that goal near at hand. Scientists are perfecting a lightweight pod containing a radio transmitter and a precise clock. Once the pods (prototype shown above) are mass produced and fitted to birds, it will simply be a matter of ensuring that at least four are airborne at any given time.

Well one of us is an excellent navigator and as sure as sh*t they aren’t wearing a stupid hat.
Hoskins' nasty habit of "pulling the pigeon" resulted in the bird having a perpetually elongated neck.
