Probably Bad News: News fails, because journalism isn't dying fast enough. � Purry Duty

If I were a defense lawyer, I'd approve immediately because of the Kitty Proximity Principle:

you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods,
you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts

If you included your turtle as your pet in the last census, yes.

This wouldn't have happened if they had given their cat a less human-sounding name.

I think they would have at least been more likely to take a second look if they had drawn "Fluffy" instead of "Sal Esposito" (I think I know his sister!)

My friend's husband is named Jiffy. I wanted to get them some popcorn for their wedding night but my GF wouldn't let me.

I thought "Jiffy Pop" was also appropriate for a wedding night.
