Coop & Coupe
Coop – a small living space built for birds such as chickens or pigeons.
Coupe – a two-door car with a fixed roof.
One of my all-time favorite jokes: Why does a chicken coop have two doors? Because if it had four, it would be a chicken sedan.
What kind of car does a chicken drive? A Cadillac Coop de Ville, of course. ;)
