   As he fancies himself a maven of the English language, I’m surprised Gene Weingarten let slip the misspelling in panel 2. Where’s Tom the Butcher when we need him?

   The ones that take a while to get are often my favorite. Keep them coming.

   What misspelling? I see, “Couldn’t we train…” But then, I don’t get the joke at all.

    I don’t see any misspelling. To train is correct in this case. An the birds have a powerful bite too. Some can get quiet large.

    Must have been fixed before I got here, since it is properly punctuated now; couldn’t.

    Very interesting – still a typo here.

    OK, I finally figured out the punchline. Still not funny.
