Canadian boy runs riot with chicken finger

Billy Barnes, an “eight-year-old student at Ragged Island Consolidated School near Lockeport was suspended from school after pointing a breaded chicken finger at a classmate and saying bang,” the Herald reports.

“Teachers follow the discipline policy of the Southwest regional school board that includes a weapons category under the heading Severely Disruptive Behaviour. The possession or use of weapons at school, as defined by the Criminal Code of Canada, is prohibited and may result in immediate school suspension. The Criminal Code defines a weapon as anything designed to be used to cause death, injury or intimidation.”

There’s gotta be a joke in there, I just can’t find it.

:rolleyes:

“The Criminal Code defines a weapon as anything designed to be used to cause death, injury or intimidation.”

Wow, and I thought MY cafeteria food was bad in elementary school…

Thank you, Zero Tolerance. :rolleyes:

That does it for me. Society is ****ed.

Heres the joke you were looking for: This boy ran a-fowl of the disciplinary authorities.

Maybe something about assault and poultry?

I dunno.

Lucky Charms

Lucky Charms, you’re pointing the finger at the wrong person. :smiley:

If the kid had used a breadstick, he would have been charged with “assault and patisserie”. Or “assault and bakery”. For an eclair, it’d be “assault and pastry”. For a pie crust enclosing beef, potatoes, onions and vegetables, “assault and pastie.” Etc.

I’d hate to run a-fowl of that type of problem. (Snicker!)

I’m actually embarrassed I wrote that.

…with an omnibus, a rusty chainsaw, or whatever else was handy.

Obviously the kid had a chicken gun

I didn’t even know chickens had fingers. :confused:

Oh alright, sorry.

We have to note the child was already a hardened repeat offender as he had already been admonished once for saying “bang!”

I think anyone buying chinken fingers should submit to a background check just in case.

This raises the question: why do Canadians act like Americans and then take offense when someone mistakes them for Americans?

But sailor, the point here is that it was an unregisteredchicken finger!

Guns don’t kill people, chicken fingers do.

Here’s another take on the story.

I’d be more embarrassed about ripping off Lucky Charms’s joke, but that’s just me. :slight_smile:

Or if the kid used cake mix, he would have been charged with “assault and badder”.

Well at least he didn’t scare the other kid, he was a little chicken.

You know, the boy’s a good egg who wouldn’t normally make a peep; I bet he was just trying to impress some chick. Frankly I don’t think the government has a leg to stand on, but no doubt he’ll be cooped up for a long time.
