Thumb Pecking Order –

The hypnotist sat uneasily on the stand as the attorney known as the “hammer shark” walzed up to him expecting this to turn into a great cross examination for his client.

“Tell us again, how did this happen to my client?” the attorney seethed.

“I don’t know. I hypnotized a group of people at the club the night he disappeared. I told them I would text them a message after I awoke them and they were to do what I asked. I made one dance like Fred Astaire with a text to his phone. Another, I told to bark like a dog with a text to her phone.” he answered.

“And to my client?” the "hammer shark" said dramatically towards the jury.

“Become a Chicken, only, I texted, ‘Become a chick.’” the hypnotist said sheepishly.

“And, did he leave right away?” the attorney boldly asked.

“Yes. Next time I saw him ...” the hypnotist started to say.

“He, now she, was a chick, in fact!” the "hammer shark" interrupted with a leer towards him that could be seen by the jury.

“Objection. Leading the witness.” the hypnotist's lawyer said.

“Sustained.” said the judge.

“Sorry, your honor. The next time you saw my client, what was your impression.” the "hammer shark" asked in a more restrained voice.

“Well, yes. I was impressed with the fact that she has become a very beautiful woman.” the hypnotist said proudly.

“What do you have to say for your fowl deed?” the "hammer shark" hissed in reply.

“Like I said, she is a pretty foxy looking chick, and I am glad I had text with her.”
