Charlie, Winston Churchill's notoriously profane parrot, is still alive and swearing. At 104 years of age, her foul-mouthed tirades may be on the decline, but her ability to utter anti-Axis obscenities impresses me to no end. Yes, Charlie is known for routinely blurting out "F%#@ Hitler!" and "F%#@ the Nazis!" to the delight of the legendary Prime Minister. Imagine if your banal educators could have taught you about Charlie in History class. Honestly, how could you not admire a man whose corrupted little bird continues to spout favoured expletives from beyond his grave?
