"warty, thick-skinned booty"

This brings to mind some unpleasant images.

It starts with the crop theft. Next thing you know, they're taking all of the good white collar crime gigs too.

LOL...When I was a kid, my dad planted a six foot tall avacado tree in hopes of one day making some home made guac. The next day a neighbor came over and offered to help take it out before it got out of hand. They can be messy trees.

The avacado farmers should start up a new pay-for business to cover their loses.... Set up a deal where people can pay to come in and camp out at night and nightvision-paintball these people. May not kill em, but it would sure hurt AND tag the thieves!! And it sounds like fun!! :>)

I really think thieves would think twice before stepping into an avacado grove where a few dozen special forces "wanna-be's" were lurking around the trees with night vision goggles just waiting to paint a few!! Wonder if they sell "Avacado Green" paintballs?? HeeHee!!

I wonder how many of the thieves are illegal aliens.

No problem they are not thieves they are merely "undocumented owners"!
