Pretty funny joke. I likes it.
The thing about the term "bird flu" is that waterfowl are the world's
reservoir of influenza, if you've got the flu it originally came from a
bird /anyway/. For the most part they can't make the leap from fowl to
human, but put a swine into the transmission chain and the flu has a
better chance of jumping from bird to pig, stewing and morphing for a
bit and then making the leap from pig to man. If Asia could feed her
population without penning swine and fowl together we'd see a lot less
influenza.
Historical tidbit: The US military lost more men to influenza during WWI
than to battlefield injury.

When I was in Germany a few years ago I saw these all over the place and
fell in love with them. Just look at their face even! I did see them
parked head-in in parallel parking situations in many locations.
