..your story sounds half baked to me.
continue,..so, she she flipped you the bird AFTER she found out you had a hot chick on the side…
“He brutally captured the victim, decapitated and slow cooked him, then invited all of his relatives to devour him.”
“So what have you got to say for yourself, pilgrim?”
Your honor, there is no such thing as a “Vegan Defense.”
The witnesses are all sleeping on the sofa with the football game on.
So you’re telling me it was the Indian who “stuffed” the victim?
“Sure, blame the Indians”
What do you mean you’re a vegetarian?
Gobble!! Gobble Gobble Gobble!!!!
That first episode of McClucklock is widely recognized as the first major step toward turkey equality in the United States.
Does your wife know you like the dark meat?
“And you say that on the evening of November 23rd 1620 you were so hungry that you did what to my uncle Tom?”
Did you or did you not call me a turkey?
…and he tried to turn my client into a Turducken.
No, your Honor, he tried to eat me!
Turkey Shit!!!
Show me the so called Pocahontas..
Are you or are you not a member of the Musket toting gang known as the Pilgrims!
“And tell the court just exactly why you were carrying that axe, John Smith, and explain why it was so urgent to find this mystery man known only as “Tom” before November 26.”
So you’re the one that started all this thanksgiving nonsense.
I Object!
Do you know how many turkeys are eaten every Thanksgiving because of you?
Did you or did you not invite the poor bird to dinner under false pretenses?
Put yourself in my place….How would you liked to be plucked…
These savages even started breaking his bones, claiming it would make his wishes come true.
This is where you get plucked!
So all of this nonsense came about because of a wishbone?
I detect some fowl play
Tell us the truth, the turkey didn’t pluck itself!
Mr Pilgram….Are you ready to take resonsibility for the death of 100 million inno turkeys every year
Mr Pilgram.. Areyou ready to take responsibility for the death of 100 million innocent turkeys every year ???
“Thanksgiving? What do WE have to be thankful for…it’s turkey genocide, pure and simple!! I rest my case”
And your sure you didnt inject them with steroids way back then ?
Alright Mr… Lets talk Turkey !
“Are you telling the court Sir that you were not the one holding the axe that killed my brother?”
And then he came after my client with a turkey baster.
Thanks to you and your cohorts, Thanksgiving Day…will never be forgotten!
You can’t blame the tryptophane on this!!
That’s the man who grabbed my giblets!
So John Alden here says he’s gonna rub cranberry sauce on me and then stuff me good.
Has anyone in the jury ever been forced to take a brine bath?!?! It’s terrible!!
Justice won’t be served until he
fries.
“Are you sir or are you not….Santa Clause!!!!!”
As the trial wore on, Elmer still couldn’t remember that suffing recipe.
“Where were you on the 4th thursday in November?”
“He said he wanted to take me home to MEAT the family!!”
And then he offered to bath me in olive oil, well, I’m not that kind of turkey!
‘bathe’
“If the buckle fits…you must convict!!”
It was the toughest cross examination over a parking ticket the court room had ever seen…
“Thanks for nothing!!”
“Where is your accomplice with the moccasins?? We know you were both involved!”
after hours of ruthless cross examination, some began to think this DUI case had somehow turned personal for the prosecutor
You sir calling it stuffing the bird; I call it fisting.
“Collar sir…..or NAPKIN!!!”
the pilgrim realized that thanks giving has turned into some kind of bizarre twisted thing
so you admitted that you did have cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie on you when you where seen leaving the victim.
look at him he can barely keep his eyes open your honor
please your honor only allow bail after november
its time for the slaughter to end your honor
Your Honor, The defendant claims he only wanted to talk some turkey. After the feast,we now know that was a lie!
“Mr. Pilgram, where were you on the night the first turkey got shot?”
“Is it true that you celebrate Thanksgiving after taking a life such as mine?”
“Your honor, I am doing my very best not to laugh at the prosecuting attorney.”
“Members of the jury. This pilgram has the best human gobble sound that I have ever heard.”
“Excuse me, but the Indian said you did it!”
“Do I need to remind you that you’re under oath?”
“Judge, Can I assume that I have permission to treat the witness as hostile?”
“Had I not taken the Lawyer’s Oath, I would jump over that podium and take a giant crap on your cute little hat…
Strike that. I have no further questions!”
“Did you or did you not place a certain Stove Top product into a certain orifice of my client?”
Members of the jury, this man obviously took part in the murder and devouring of Mr. Turkey. He’s got gravy all over his face.
Did you or did you not ask for seconds?
I don’t care if everyone else was doing it! If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you?
Who does this turkey think he is?
How would you like it if I stuffed and baked your wife?
“Yes, that’s him! He cut off my wife’s head, plucked off all her feathers, and the rumor has it the sicko cooked and ate her!”
“Gobble this”
“Paternity suit be damned, this man is my father!”
“Look at those beady eyes. I tell you this man is a killer.”
“So… you were aware that turkeys are worth more cut-up than whole?!”
“I object….counsel is feeding the witness.”
“The man has no conscience, I tell you! First the Indians, and now the turkeys! What’s next???”
The defendant is a chicken. The woods are full of carnivorous bears but he hunts down a poor, defenseless turkey instead.
Shame! Instead of eating turkey, the defendant should be eating crow.
All I am saying is “Give peas a chance”.
Objection!! Counsel is making the witness drool!
“Where were you around lunchtime on November 26th?”
“I’m sorry, did you say litigious or delicious?”
Didn’t mean to copy OZ, I read the entries after I entered mine! Sorry
When I said to dress the turkey,this is not what I meant.
Your Honor,being cross-examined by a turkey in attorney’s clothing is going to leave a bad taste in my mouth.
WHAT TURKEYS DREAM
“This was a hate crime, Your Honor. The defendant called my client a Butterball!”
Clearly out of his league, the lawyer came across as just another turkey spewing gobblety-gook.
“He never told me about the Side Effects of doing Cold Turkey.”
John Smith felt a growing awareness that he was eye candy for Judge Yocum.
“Stuff it, Pilgrim!”
“Do I make you hungry? And remember, you are under oath.”
jeez…..who stuck a feather up his ass?
“after the stuffing and the basting this man committed the most heinous act of all… he served my uncle Tom with a MERLOT!!!!
“You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Then who the hell else are you talking… you talking to me? Well I’m the only one here. Who the……..”
“And did you not attempt to baste and roast the defendant?”
John Grisham tops the bestseller list again with his newest masterpiece, “The Mayflower Trials”
I paid you top dollar to paint a portrait of my grandfather and you gave me nothing but a crude hand tracing with crayons and construction paper.
I don’t feel comfortable with a
jury of his peers.
…and then they picked over his
carcass like a flock of vultures.
How would you like it if I grabbed you by the feet, rammed a metal rod up you ass and dunked you in a vat of 350 degree oil?
“That’s him your honor!!!”
“That’s the man that killed my uncle Tom.”
Would the court instruct the witness to stop drooling?
They all dress alike, they all look alike and they all eat turkey on this one day every year….OF COURSE IT’S A CONSPIRACY Your Honor.
May the record reflect the
defendant has a hungry look in his
eyes?
“Did you order the bird dead?”
“You’re g*ddamned right I did!”
He started the meal with a wing and a prayer.
He is guilty, no matter how you slice it.
Then this Emeril Lagasse guy goes,”Bam!”
“So Mr. Standish, in your own words describe what you saw the night of the “Turkey Massacre”.
“Gobble… gobble gobble, GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!”
He was trying to manipulate me by calling me a chicken because I wouldn’t get into the oven and I’ve had it!
HE is the man I awoke to standing over me, scraping a knife and fork together saying “Here turkey turkey turkey…” It was traumatizing!
I told him I was diagnosed with PTSD because of the slaughter my kind endures year after year. As heartless as he is, he said “What does that mean? Pretty Tasty Skin Disease…” Then he proceeded to laugh in my face as he was lighting a fire.
He’s clearly guilty! Look at the bags under his eyes! He hasn’t slept for days!
“That`s him your honer,I replied to his online Hot Date wanted,everything was fine until he`d tried Stuffing me in the Oven.”
“Big Tom died so the rest of us might live…..after the feast the pilgrims became sleepy and the rest of us escaped… SAY IT ISN”T SO !!!!!!”
Pluck you Pilgrim !
Pluck off and die !
and how do you explain his feathers stuffed inside your pillow?
psssst….your not believing this “turkey” are you?
Damn you!!!! you….you….DAMN PILGRIM!
He sure looks touch, but I hear inside he is yellow.
You sir are on trial for Genocide!! What do you have to say for yourself?
Have you ever heard of the word Genocide?
Rite before this man killed my wife he said he wanted to give her a heads up on what the indians are planning.
My fellow turkey’s do not go to this mans house for dinner.
“He said relax it’s just stuffing. I’ve never felt so violated…”
psssssst…….I’m getting hungry just listening to him.
At his divorce hearing Fred decided he would try to intimidate his wife’s attorney any way he could.
So what you are really saying is… if the pilgrims had received a donkey from the indians, we would all be eating ass
“…and did you, or did you not brandish an unlicensed, loaded musket?!”
“Your, honor, I would like to approach the defendant as hostile!”
“May I point out to the jury that the witness is not the ONLY defendant here!”
“Well, pluck my feathers… you call the killing of an innocent hen tradition?”
“…and so I recommend to the jury that the penalty be the firing squad – let him see how it feels to have an @$$ full of lead!”
“No Mr. Tryptophan, you are on trial for SLANDER because your after dinner conversation is BORING!!!”
then he said, and I quote….”if you liked my hen,your gonna love my cock”!
If this is the first thanksgiving, how do you knoww you have to eat us turkeys?
Would your mom want YOU to be plumped?
Would a turkey just sue some one for nothing?
Now, Mr. Smith do you expect us to believe you simply came upon this feast by pure coincidence?!
Now, even you must admit, this is not exactly what you had in mind when the lucky part of the wishbone came your way!
Seems that your the one thats gonna get plucked now!
The PilGrim Reaper stands accused.
ya but did you have to shove the stuffing up that hole?
“Let me get this straight. You plead guilty to the turkey shoot, but you’re taking the Fifth on the green bean casserole?”
blah blah blaa!!!that is all i have to say
So you claim you landed on Plymouth Rock but the Plaintiff Malcolm X claims it was the other way around. Which is it, Pilgrim?
