Man on far right: Well, of course we can't eat Gavin now. Which is why I asked you not to name him!
Can we eat the gull if its name were Mitchell, Trevor or even Dimitri?
I ate a steer named “Faraday” once. It was his own fault. He wouldn’t get on the truck.
It occurs to me that I’ve never known anybody named “Tom” that I actually liked, so that would probably be okay too.
Isn’t Gavin the one in green?
@gir63 no, the joke is that they named the bird, which makes him feel more like a pet, and now they can’t eat him because they’d feel guilty.
Of course, if you grow up in the country, animals you’ve named and animals you feel okay eating are not mutually exclusive :)
We could start with the Captain’s leg, and end up with Gavin’s wings for dessert.
Are you sure… the gull is looking at him quite hungrily, and the guy has a pretty worried look.
