I wonder. Patrick,, particularly in your well known comic moments, if there is a connection between 'drooling' and 'droll'. Tho, thinking further about it, it might not be that common to encounter 'droll drooling', or a 'drooling droll guy.' That clearly makes you unique!
If you were worried about that!

I realized after I wrote the above that of course birds
salivate--I've happily slurped their saliva in the form of birdsnest
soup. The question remains--do they drool? Must be a bird voyeur out there.
