Rump Roast for Thanksgiving?

Just hope he doesn’t have too much cholesterol.

You misspelled ‘booty.’

That’s a bite in the a$$.

something awful is going to hit the fan soon

Serves him right for floating in a piraña filled lake.

He’s certainly the butt of the joke.

You mean the booty you’re about to receive.

So many cartoonists are acting like today is Thanksgiving or something.

Uh oh…

Wednesday ;-)

Shouldn’t they be hot crossed buns?

And a beer to wash it down.

Watch it, gang. Too much fat in your diet is bad for you!

This why I order shark at a seafood resturant. I believe turnabout is proper.

I watched Wednesday last night and so I am getting a kick out of this. Jenna Ortega knocks it out of the park.

☺️☺️☺️☺️

Only Ninja Sloth can saves him now.

Silence of the piranhas

Misspelled it.

Looks like the piranha will be dining on Cheekin Tenders.

Piranha means “tooth fish” in Tupi, and yes,

Its sharp teeth are a prominent trait,

But it’s not very likely to skeletonize you.

It doesn’t deserve all the hate.

When Theodore Roosevelt went to Brazil,

He declared it the fiercest of fish.

Well, we’ve learned that Brazilians had starved those piranhas.

To put on a show was the wish.

You might get a nibble when close to their eggs,

And their jaw muscles really are strong,

But the coroners say that the tales where piranhas

Eat humans alive are all wrong.

The red-bellied ones tend to swim in big shoals,

But that isn’t to hunt like in packs.

They have the same reason as many small fishes:

Protection from hunters’ attacks.

It does stand to reason that fishes that small

Would be loath to attack a large prey.

They’ve sooner resorted to cannibalism.

We humans could scare them away.

In fact, there are species that don’t prefer meat,

Such as some that live chiefly on seeds.

There is one with flat teeth in the genus Tometes

That munches on just river weeds.

Piranhas might go for a nearly dead human.

The same could be said of a vulture.

The latter’s not feared much, so why should the former?

It’s simply a myth of our culture.

Sounds like a bum deal…………..

Oy, is this a shtick tuchas or What?

Piranha giving thanks for the booty they are about to chomp.

Johnny Carson once tried a steak made from lion meat.I’ve had shark (like pork chops, but stickier).I wonder what piranha fish tastes like?
