carrion - the carcass of a dead animal that becomes food for other scavenging animals.
A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons.
The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only
one carrion allowed per passenger."

As soon as I saw the title "carrion" I was reminded of the cartoon, buried somewhere in my collection, of a buzzard flying with a suitcase labeled "carrion" clenched in its claws. Glad to see someone with a like-minded warped world-view!

Well, I though you would know how to translate "Ladyquill" into Portuguese, but maybe all those other languages you know will get in the way . . .

Maybe pluma da senhora would be a better rendition.

It just occurred to me, the expression here being maybe pluma para senhoras, quill for ladies. I don't know, it doesn't make much sense to me.
