Well, I was about to type up how it's possessive and hence correct...

Don't use apostrophes for possessive pronouns or for noun plurals.

Apostrophes should not be used with possessive pronouns because possessive
pronouns already show possession -- they don't need an apostrophe. His, her, its,
my, yours, ours are all possessive pronouns. Here are some examples:

wrong: his' book

correct: his book

(Note: Its and it's are not the same thing. It's is a contraction for "it is" and its is a possessive pronoun meaning "belonging to it." It's raining out= it is raining out. A simple way to remember this rule is the fact that you don't use an apostrophe for the possessives his or hers, so don't do it with its!)

wrong: a friend of yours'

correct: a friend of yours


Then I remembered!

Chris...

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.
