What’s all this shouting about? We want local crimes for local people!

Well, what do you want? When you provide government stipends for housing and food, and they have a Playstation, why bother committing crimes?

Look, it wasn’t a goose, it was a mallard. And I was stoned, not drunk. And it wasn’t so much a conspiracy as it was a meeting of two like-minded consenting adults.
But geese are assholes, and their drunken co-conspirators can go hang.

It depends whether it means I was intoxicated or the goose was intoxicated. I HAD to conspire with it while IT was intoxicated - it was the only way to placate it - it’s a mean drunk! I deny any such thing happening while I was intoxicated.

Yes, that goose is a mean drunk. The gander is much more fun which is how I got in trouble. The gander and I were gettin’ sloshed and the goose said, “Hey, if it’s good enough for him…”
