Oklahoma student accused of Witchcraft

[octothorp]

Why would you change into a goat to avoid capture? Wouldn't it make sense to transform into a bird? Or a gazelle? Or a grizzly bear?

[CaptainCrunch]

Or a fruit fly, nobody suspects the fruit fly.

This is what you are referring to.

Yes! That's the one.

On a side note, am I the only one that thinks this is funnier because it was a Mazda?
I don't know why that's funny, but I laugh every time I think of someone saying "Excuse me officer, I'd like you to arrest this goat. He tried to steal my Mazda."

[Ford Prefect]

Mazda's are so 1980s. Why would anyone want to steal a Mazda now days anyway, especially a shape shifting goat?

Screw you guys talking down Mazda's, I love my 3.

Oh sure, blame it on the Zoroastrians.

I owned a couple Mazdas too, back in the 1980s.

So, what are some of those reliable tricks to find out whether or not she's a witch?

Put her in chains, lock her in a box, fill the box with water, and if she can breath underwater, she's a witch?

Oh, I guess she has to get out of the chains too, and unlock the box.

Could work you know.

Oh, I agree. I hate the Canadian self-proclamation of perfection vis a vis the United States, and then turn around and bitch about how "Americans think" we live in igloos and only use canoes or stuff like that. I just thought if a stereotype was being used, it may as well be a more accurate one.

Well, I especially hate stereotypes regarding "The South." It's too great a place to be made an object of derision all the time.

Yeah, with a few exception states, its a nice region... its those trouble states that give them a bad rap, since a lot of the incidents that inspire derision tend to come from those troubled southern states. Blaming the south is more apt than blaming the whole country... even if its a stereotype. Its like saying "those lazy Canadians" when Quebec doesn't want to work as Alberta, for example.

The US really is like 50 little countries, as well as some territories, of varying similarity, just like Canada is really 10 little countries, as well as 3 territories, (despite what some ardent nationalists and Trudeau-nauts might say) and you really can't group them all together.

Well, I'm not really sure about the "trouble states." I've heard the region described as "duality of the Southern thing." Alabama had George Wallace throughout the civil rights strife, but you also had the recording meccas of Mussels Shoals and others where blacks worked alongside whites producing some of the century's greatest music.

I think one classic was throw her off a cliff. If she flies then she's a witch, if not.....

Though that would mean an actual witch would get away, luckily that never came up.

Step 2 . . . she must report back for beheading and incineration.

Well if they really believed she was a witch....

Put her in a huge pot of boiling water. If she doesn't boil, she's a witch.

[CaptainCrunch]

Sleep with her on the first date, if she's still there when you wake up she's a witch.
