Today's ghastly groaner

An airport on an island in the North Atlantic ocean was having problems with Arctic terns flying around the airfield, endangering the airplanes and passengers.

The management tried everything, from firing off noisemakers to trying to chase them away with dogs.

Finally, in desperation, they decided to give each employee a bucket of rocks and told them to walk up and down the runway throwing rocks at every bird they could.

They did this until there was no tern left unstoned.
