We haven't had a groaner in a long time. Here's one from Rosemary Zwick:

A couple with a mutual craving for something sweet drove to the nearest
Baskin-Robbins. Having bought ice cream cones, they returned to their
car to be comfortable. As they settled back to enjoy themselves, two
crows landed on the front hood and began to chirp and flutter, and to
peck at the windshield. The man finally figured out what they wanted. He
opened the window and put his cone on the hood. The birds immediately
settled down as they began eating it. "You're wonderful!" said the girl,
"How did you ever think of it?"

"Nothing to it. It was just a case of stilling two birds with one cone."
