His refusal, however, led to a ruckus (or was it a fracas?), during which one of the frozen lumps of chicken nuggets was catapulted high into the air, where it knocked dead an Amazon drone, which dropped onto the deck with a thwack that sounded like a very bad omen indeed.

Remembering a session with his psychiatrist, Dr. Fred E. Krueger, in which he told of a nightmare involving a drone landing on his head in the China Sea, our now unnerved and confused young man tweeted for a helicopter to transport him to the mainland.

The sailors, meanwhile, blithely plundered the contents of the drone and, much to their surprise, found an assortment of Chicken McNuggets sauces.

Suddenly, hit with an idea, he went to the Captain and requested (along with a generous donation) that he take the ship to the nearby Island Of Chickens.

eschwartz · 09-08-2015, 11:37 AM

The Captain agreed, but after several days of sailing could not find the elusive island, and he began to be confused as well.

Solitaire1 · 09-08-2015, 12:05 PM

The crew, however, overheard the Captain and the confused young man speaking and they wanted to go to the island...immediately!

JoHunt · 09-08-2015, 12:23 PM

Little did they know however that all chickens on the island had mutinied against its nugget crazed governor, Colonel KFC, and were already winging their way to the relative safety of the Canary Islands, where they hoped to mingle unnoticed with the feathered populace.

Sadly, it was only once they'd arrived that they realized the truth, namely that chickens are larger by far than canaries and stood out clearly among them, an easy target for the owner of every fried chicken franchise and peri peri restaurant on the islands.

eschwartz · 09-08-2015, 12:36 PM

The restauranteurs came in droves, and began catching every feathered being in sight.

JoHunt · 09-08-2015, 01:47 PM

Once again fleeing in exile, the chickens came to the conclusion that they had to change their general appearance in order to avoid becoming part of a Happy Meal.

One young rooster had a bright idea, and decided to disguise himself as the Colonel!

Fat Abe · 09-08-2015, 10:58 PM

However, the male bird's voice still lacked maturity, and each time he spoke, the "Colonel" sounded like Meghan McCarthy in drag.

eschwartz · 09-09-2015, 12:33 AM

Nevertheless, puffed up with his own invincibility, he turned into a terror and began plotting against his fellow fowl.

Solitaire1 · 09-09-2015, 12:58 AM

Horrifyingly, the young rooster discovered that that "The Colonel" has a curse that causes any chicken who dresses like him to be overcome with a desire to follow in his footsteps.

JoHunt · 09-09-2015, 01:23 AM

Not one to be overcome by adversity and since it has long been rumored in the chicken community that sauce will remove chicken curses, the young rooster disguised as a colonel joined our confused young man in his quest to find the "Source of Sauce".
