No! Get away from me! Fire burn…

_Oh_. Ahem. Why not send her to the big pool of milk chocolate? I hear uh… I hear that chocolate… um… burns a witch! Yes! It is like holy water to a vampire! And M&Ms are like garlic.

Did you weigh her against a duck? These are the Middle Ages and this kind of thing should be scientifically, you know. If she weighs less than a duck, then burning her would be the only just solution. Even witches deserve a fair trial. You can check her nipples, at leisure, before you burn her.

It’s like that Magic Shell stuff. It creates a hard, chocolaty overcoat for them. You know…Dipped Nips! 🙂

_imagines a buncha puritans watching a far-too-happy witch bathe in chocolate_

**Puritan** : Uh…you know, she really doesn’t seem to be _burning_, at all. More…dancing with glee.  
**Pastor** : Oh, well, you see…uh…she’s not dancing, per se, she’s…uhm…letting out the Devil! Yes, Satan is escaping, and those are her throes of agony!  
**Puritan** : Oh? Well, I guess that’s all fine and good, but how do you explain the singing?  
**Pastor** : Uhm…no, you see, she’s not singing, she’s, uh, saying a prayer to her Godless master!  
**Puritan** : “I love chocolate, I love chocolate, all for me, yummy yum yum?”  
**PastorB** : Er…yes. Well known Evil prayer, that. _cough_ Now stop asking questions! Do you want to be in there with her?  
**Puritan** : No, I prefer dark chocolate.  
**Pastor** : EXCUSE ME!!!one  
**Puritan** : Uh…I mean…God is Great?  
**Pastor** : Good boy.

A duck? Only witches measure against ducks, in order that they may exonerate other witches. The only proper method is to throw her in a lake, and see if she floats and/or can swim.
