Yeah the jokes pretty much write themselves..wait was it Perdue chicken no wonder Whole Foods jacked up the price!
Quantrivious? Quantrivious, wherefore art thou Quantrivious?
caught by flock?
Oh, come on! Who among us hasn’t burgled a semi trailer while we were staying at an Economy Inn? I mean, it’s the driver’s fault for leaving his trailer unattended! 🙄
Quantrivious may have been the driver.
Click. Yup.
Yes. Flock is excellent at tracking down fowl play
You know, in John Wayne movies and such, when there are twelve people in for the loot, it is gold bars. This must be some good chicken.
Sounds like an episode for the new crime series: The Doperanos.
So the chicken was already stolen before they tried to steal it?
Did they already send out invites to the BBQ ?
“ Trashawn Featherson” ???
That’s Trashawn Featherson, PhD.
That’s a fowl group of people right there.
“Girl, wach you doin’ hanging around all that trash?”
How do you fence $250K of a perishable like chicken?
LOL.đź‘Ť
OK, I tried...
Quantrivious’ name may be to long to put on the arresting papers. Do they print “Quant” for short?
I think I will name one of my chickens after him. LOL!
