A friend of mine had this on his Facebook page.. I liked it so much.. Thought I'd borrow it.. I was sitting at a traffic light yesterday next to a carload of Congressmen when a big semi-trailer drove right over the top of their car! Flattened it! "Wow!" I thought, "That could've been me"... So I went and got a Commercial Driver's License
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for groups of animals! There is a Pride of lions; a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens); a School of fish; an Exaltation of larks and a Parliament of owls. Now consider the baboon: loudest, most dangerous and viciously aggressive of all primates. It is ironic and so appropriate that the proper collective noun for a group of baboons is: a Congress.
