badmigraine 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 A dove is a pigeon with vitiligo, like Michael Jackson. They were bred pure white for use as camoflauged food fryers in secret Appenine and Vosges snow missions during WWII...hence the name: the white pigeon was evolved or "evo'd" from the urban air rat variety and the word evo'd was reversed as "dove" by cockney troops to better match their rhyming slang ("lovey dovey"). The modern-day progeny of these airbone rations survives and can be seen at some European resorts as a pair of pink eyes staring beadily up at the chairlift as customers go past on a Saturday afternoon. After the war ended, the white-feathered rations were released, giving us the association with Peace and the common Hollywood-reinforced image of a swarm of doves heading skyward to signal the end of the conflict.
