As a renowned 20th-century American philosopher said, everyone’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth
“Micheal! Did you eat the chicken I had in the freezer?”
“No, I ate MY chicken in the freezer!”
“Micheal, I specifically bought that for me! I even put a note on it”
note says “please don’t touch”
“I saw that note, but the chicken had my name on it. It said Tyson Chicken. When you get chicken with your name on it, that’s yours, but this chicken said my name!”
“That’s just the brand! It was made by Tyson Foods corporation”
“Yeah, and it was made for me. That’s why they devoted their whole business in my name. So I’d always have chicken. Plus, I pay all the bills around here, so maybe a freeloading ghost like you should shut the fuck up, or start paying bills.”
Loved that show. RIP Pigeon.
