Happy Thanksgiving

Sr. Banana: (wearing a wreath of autumn leaves, he hands an invitation card to Bok Choi): You're invited to my Mabon party.  It's a pagan thanksgiving. We'll do a sacrifice!  BokChoi: That's illegal!  Sr. Banana: We're sacrificing 500 chocolate croissants  (later, all lying comatose on the floor in front of the crackling hearth fire, tummies full) BokChoi: This should be illegal.
