Chicken in a What?

Newton: Ashton, come quick! I found chicken in the pantry!

Newton with chicken in a canAshton: What were you doing in the pantry? Everyone knows our pantry is locked because you’re too naughty to be trusted with it.

Newton: But look here.

Ashton: I don’t care what it looks like. It doesn’t smell like chicken. If it’s chicken, I should be able to smell it all the way over here with my super-sniffer.

Ashton sniffs the airAshton: See? No chicken smell at all. I think it’s a joke. And not a very nice one, either.

Ashton inspects chicken broth canPierre: The joke’s on both of them if they don’t have one of these. And thumbs.

Pierre has the can opener

Pierre: Wait a minute. I don’t have any thumbs….

    If you get into that can, you will be disappointed as to how little chicken is in there.

    Even better than broth, did you know you can get canned chicken breast? Truffles is a huge fan of that as a treat 🙂

    Oh no! Not the dreaded can! Those things aren’t easy to deal with when you do have thumbs. I swear that my can opener hates me. I hope that you guys are able to get some good chicken soon!
