Police in Manchester, Conn., are investigating the theft of a small American flag from a man wearing a chicken suit. The thief was described as "an overweight white dude." [Courant.com / AP]

    How did they know it was a white man if he was in a chicken suit?

       _From_ a man in a chicken suit, not _by_ a man in a chicken suit, Eugene.

        OK, so we’ve got a two pointer right here:
        1. Thanks for almost ruining my monitor and keyboard. Can’t a man sip his coffee and read BB comments at the same time anymore?
        2. “Baa-Gaaaawk!”  So that’s how you’re supposed to write how it sounds, I learn something new every day.

      “I tell you, the sonofabitch was average-looking”.
      “OK, let’s go find this average-looking sonofabitch”.

    Rush Limbaugh doesn’t have his own flag?

    Lemme guess: Perp described as heavier male with brown hair, glasses, green pants with a white button down shirt?  Perp was accompanied by a martini drinking white dog with a red collar.

    Seriously?  Police are investigating this?  I paid a contractor $1000 to make some home repairs.  He started 10 minutes into the project and then left.   He never came back to finish the job.  I checked his references before hiring and they were good.  Later I found out on ripoffreports that this guy has done this to dozens of other people.  The police in my town refuse to speak to me about it, won’t even look into it, regardless of how many people have been ripped off.  And reports from new victims keep getting posted.

      Perhaps they would have taken it more seriously if the contractor had been wearing a chicken suit….
      (of course if he was wearing a chicken suit, you probably shouldn’t have hired him)

        No. Chicken was the victim. Next time, put on a chicken suit before you go to the police.

    Peter Griffin will take care of that guy in the chicken suit.
