You don’t hang witches. First you throw her into a pond. If she floats, she’s a witch, proceed to burn her. If she drowns, then she isn’t a witch.

This is a public service announcment.

That’s why folks used to burn witches...to keep them from complaining and screwing things up so much.

Can you build a bridge out of her?

This is the inevitable result when one caves to the every whim of every crackpot, crank, loon, cuckoo, ding-a-ling, dingbat, kook, nut, screwball and weirdo who claims to have a distinct “philosophy” or makes up a “religion”.

Lady, empty the kitty-litter!

Allegations of “Hate Crime” are the toold of the Political Correctionists who replaced the Commies after the defeat of communism. Same group of people, same agendas, same tactics.
This is Halloween not the invasion fromHell.

Well, if she really was a witch, couldn’t she just cast a spell and turn the homeowner into a newt or something?
