The alcohol and match trick has never failed us...
Thanks. I have heard about the match trick but not the alcohol part. I'll report how it works out.

Instead of the chop up finale, I think I'll continue with cremation!

Put the cigarette cure and the alcoholic chickens and the tick crematorium together and you might have (wait for it)

a smokin' tickin' chicken time bomb.

I can see those dumb henhouse clucks now, wandering around in my mind's eye, drinking their molotov tick cocktails, smokin' their little cigarettes, retching on the ground, slurring "I don' wanna be a fricken chickasee (hic!)", and then suddenly exploding into flames, becoming cackling egg cannons, as all the other barnyard fowl duck for cover, crow "INCOMING!" and hold their wings over their heads while being pelted with particles of pullet poo.

Yeah, I think you are right. Drunk chickens might not be such a good idea...

Geese, on the other hand....

...No. Scratch that. WAY too dangerous.

What vivid imagination? You mean you don't see life this way? How boring.
