Unanticipated Consequences

A stretch in downtown Orlando gets the bird... cars, benches, sidewalks, plants and even people are being hit and been covered by the white bird waste.

The problem began when city workers removed cypress trees on "bird island" at Lake Eola in Orlando. According to city officials, the trees had to be removed because the bird droppings were polluting the water.

Now, the birds have moved into the city and are covering anything and anyone between Lake Eola and Central Avenue with droppings.

Well, what did the they think the birds were going to do after they removed all the trees?

A classic example of what my Dad used to call the typical results of the "80 percenters", people who just don't think things all the way through, and end up with all those "Unanticipated Consequences".

They are found in government everywhere.
