Shiver me timbers....
For those of you who made an association between copywriters and pirates, shame on you. There's a simple story how my new Twitter photo came about.
A few years ago, I was spending the Sukkos holiday with my daughter in Israel. My son-in-law was pet-sitting his friend's parrot.
The parrot needed to exercise once a day. So they had to let it out of the cage to fly around the apartment. The funny thing is that the bird took a liking to me... probably because I fed it and talked to it. So when it got out of the cage it went right for me and sat on my shoulder. The other day, I remembered the photo and thought it would be perfect for my Twitter profile.
The rest of the story: A few days later, I was on the phone with my lawyer in NY about some legal issue and I was getting upset. All of a sudden the parrot landed on my yarmulke and started pecking on my forehead. I was about to freak out altogether. Then, another part of my psyche kicked in. I started cracking up laughing.
"Mordechai...What's the matter?!" The lawyer was getting worried.
I told him, "A little bird told me not to take this so seriously!"
