NGL I was expecting more violence.
One of my earliest memories was my dad running around chasing chickens to put them in the coop before a big storm.
“called police to deal with a chicken she claimed was trespassing on her property”
Here in London England, I long for a long lost past where the local bobby would come out to your house for such quaintly pointless reasons as an animal “trespassing”. Second only to the cat up a tree.
Ah, nostalgia.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To avoid a trespassing charge.
@gilgongo , we’re on the same page. Have a Coke.
Poor chicken.
Yeah - I’m amazed the police even bothered responding - is Jonesboro a ‘slow crime’ town or was it just a ‘slow crime’ day?
Very funny. All except for the first words:
Civilian: “Don’t shoot him.”
Cop: “Why not?”
When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Everything.
Chickens are genetically engineered to make you look stupid trying to catch them.
If you really mean to catch them, you have to bring the hook.
If it was a black chicken, the cop wouldn’t have even asked.
Large fishing net goes a long way toward looking far cooler while chicken chasing. Cop is obviously a rookie.
