Recycle Congress!

 

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all 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 Mob of Kangaroos

a Rookery of Penguins

a Troop of Chimps

a Murder of Crows

(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),

an Exaltation of Doves and,

 

presumably because they look so 

a Parliament of Owls.

 
Now consider a group of Baboons.  They 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!

I guess that pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington !
