Avocados don't kill people,
People kill people.
Out of my cold dead hands!

The Constitution might as well be toilet paper to these people.

Jeff, First they come for your avocado, then they come for your Rutabaga! When will this end?

Very efficient-- Steal direct from the farm and cut out the middleman.

When avacados are outlawed, only outlaws will...
And right now, the Avacado thief is busy working on his four-year plan to steal all the world's avacados
and corner the guac dip market!

Never judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes (or taste his guacamole).

I fail to see the humor in this thread. Agricultural theft is a serious problem. Approximately a million dollars a year is lost by farmers in San Diego County alone to avocado thieves, not to mention damage to fences and loss of farm equipment.
Here is an article from the San Diego Reader.

Tonight, I will be trick or treating dressed as an avocado rustler.
Suggestions on achieving this effect gladly accepted.

Steve: Dress up as a giant Dorito and whistle nonchalantly whenever you pass by the guacamole.

No, you need an abogado, not an avocado.
