Turkey Lottery Cruel?
(Montrose) The proposed Turkey Lottery, slated for Thanksgiving 2021, has played to mixed revues and reactions here and in other rural communities across the Colorado.
Saying that the birds already encounter enough stress this time of the year, one critic of the concept called the measure inhumane. Supporters of the bill insist that it will create a sense of justice and put a vast segment of the turkey population out of harm’s way, for now.
Here’s how it will work: The birds are assigned numbers based on birthdays and then draw for positions relative to the holidays. Lower numbers will designate the dinner table while higher numbers will earn a reprieve for the year.
“It’s as fair as anything else,” said Dag Katz, architect of the lottery. “This way the condemned might get their lives in order before late November. The saved can go on without fear of the swan song and a side of mashed potatoes and cranberries.”
Vegetarians were not consulted on this matter and plan to boycott the entire issue.
“What rubs my chops is that nobody has consulted the sweet potatoes or the yams,” said

Answer: After a period of self-medicating, many become lobbyists.
By 2021 most politicians will be well past safe use expiration dates, clearly marked on left ear tag. Throwing them out is the first baby step toward establishing strict term limitations. Other “leaders” passed cut-off limits but embraced the cessation of chemical impact agendas and continued to show up at the Capitol. Elected officials found to be conducting business after calendar rendezvous engagement (CRE) could forfeit lifelong pensions, state-of-the-art health care, diplomatic impunity, secret cervix protection and free caviar on Fridays.
Bottle Shoot Canned Due to Lethal Climate
The 3rd Annual Foggy Bottom Bottle Shoot has been cancelled due to Corona virus, at least that’s the official announcement, according to sources under the dome.
Others insist that open hostility between Democrats and Republicans in the House, where many of the members are armed, will lead to violence.
Proponents of gun freedoms think that it’s OK to shoot adversaries while gun control advocates might make an acceptation to otherwise peaceful philosophies and pull the trigger.

Were Adam and Eve Really Naked?
Inspiration with Rev. Phil Pharisee
“These things are so because I say they are so.” – St. Roscoe of Orange
The question is often asked: Were Adam and Eve really naked in the Garden of Eden? Were they unclothed when the serpent arrived? According to the recently revamped Rich Man’s Bible, especially written for the wealthy among our congregation “nudity was not acceptable even though Eve was created from one of Adam’s ribs”. Certainly the two first humans were not naked like the apes but were rather clothed in the vestments of the guiding light. When the serpent showed up it was Eve who took the apple all right but she did it in a tasteful, and demure, picnic dress. Later when Adam joined the show he ate his half of the apple fully covered in a formal waistcoat and spats, just like the ones worn on Sundays by Brother Phil here.
Persons who disagree with this prognosis are guilty of the grave sin of pride and will surely burn in hell. The only way to prevent this eternal damnation is to give now. Give big. Purge yourself by ridding your life of valuables and other false gods. You can keep the hard currency in our church safe over at the strip mall.
When we meet on that Golden Shore all of this will become clear. Right now we must persevere in that the secular element out there is attempting to separate church and state at the hip. And always, always remember as Dr Zeus said: Red State, blue state, new state, pew state…People in the blue states are atheistic Commies who don’t belong in our America, the America under God, who talks directly to You Know Who every night before bed.
Well, I hope I’ve cleared up the confusion. Keep the faith by joining me in today’s mantra: Creationists are proof that there is no evolution going on. Creationists are proof that there…”

Complimentary Edibles at Local Bank Riles Feds
Who’s On First National Bank is giving away loaded lollypops, cannabis cookies and gummy bears on Fridays despite complaints from the federal gov’ment and other fiscal monitoring on the part of Colorado.
The idea to expand the selection of a traditional fare has been a huge success according to loan officers, tellers and customers who say they often accumulate reasons for going into the lobby on Friday.
“Sometimes I deposit a dollar or two or withdraw money for the weekend,” said Larry Winde, of Deep Mesa. “I used to visit any old time but now I always wait until Friday to conduct my banking business.”
Tellers, who perhaps have the most direct contact with account holders, say they see happy, mellow customers whose sense of well-being begins when they hit the door.
“They rarely complain,” smiled one bank employee. “Many take longer than usual to fill out simple forms or linger in the shade of their safety deposit box,” quipped Salli Reign, who has worked at the bank for 40 years.
“Everyone is having a ball, FDIC and all,” she added, although people often forget to sign documents and have a habit of leaving personal items behind.”
