"Who speaks for the chickens, people?  Who?"  Ladies and gentlemen, simply 
because my client adheres to the idea that any belief differing from 
"Chicken Soup for the Soul" is simply and utterly wrong, and that the 
chickens at Tyson Foods have never experienced a more cordial, congenial 
life than they enjoy now, does not justify making him a target for such fowl 
play.  He's tired of simply turning the other beak.
