  Guard: Where'd you get the avocados? King Arthur: We found them. Guard: Found them? In Mercia? The avocado's tropical! King Arthur: What do you mean? Guard: Well this is a temperate zone! King Arthur: The resplendent quetzal may fly south with the sun, or the house marten or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land! Guard: Are you suggesting avocados migrate? King Arthur: Not at all! They could be carried. Guard: What? A resplendent quetzal carrying an avocado? King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk! Guard: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound avocado!
