[burp!]

Seems that there was a certain "dealer in underground economy
pharmaceuticals" who made THC pills.  Being a bird lover, he had a
parrot, two parakeets, and various other feathered friends.  In order
to test the potency of a batch of pills, he would give some to the
birds, then watch their reactions.  In the case of the parakeets, he
would have to split a pill between the two of them, as a whole pill was
too much for a parakeet (poor little things would just keel over).

If the particular batch was successful, the parakeets would sing
happily (a bit oddly, but happily, nonetheless).  He called this
"stoning two birds with one pill" . . .

(read pun, insert groan)

(This "story" is original with me, I deserve *all* the blame--
    which will be swiftly sent to /dev/null)
