Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You? - Page 8

I was at Wal-mart tonight buying some last-minute Easter dinner things, and was grabbing a dozen brown eggs to bring home, when an older man and woman saw me opening the carton to check for broken ones.  The man said to the woman, "Hey, look, hon!  Them eggs are all ready colored!!"
She was disappointed because all the other colors of eggs were sold out and said they'd have to get shopping earlier next year.
My Mom was with me and witnessed the whole exchange.  She grabbed my arm and said, "C'mon Em, we'll get some of those pre-colored eggs next year."

Oh, and I had a local lady return a dozen eggs I sold her because they were "blighted".  When I explained the white spot on the yolks meant they were fertile, she was even more horrified than she was when she thought they were just blighted.  I returned her money and escorted her to the door.

I live on a dirt road in my uncle's hunting house/camp. I sell my eggs at the Farmer's Market and I was approached by this couple awhile ago. The gentleman asked me why there are mirrors everywhere on my lawn and in my trees. I smiled and said spotlighters, he gave me a confused look and said excuse me. I then explained that a spotlighter was a person who shinned an annoying light onto the property to look for deer.

I am sorry I strongly dislike spotlighters, they shine the dumb light in the house when I am sleeping how are there deer in my house? I enoy listening to the spotlighters swear extremely loud as the light bounces back at them. Deer don't live in trees and they sure don't live in houses!

grrrrr    

OK, I used to train horses. Morgans, on a National level. The woman I worked for also raised some exotics. I had an orphaned baby Llama she'd gotten somewhere on a lead, walking him.  A couple stopped to pet him and the woman exclaimed, "Ooooh, what kind of dog is that?! I've GOT to have one."

Yikes.

Regarding my post above, I meant to also say that we were at World Championships in Oklahoma City. Anyone who has enough animal knowledge and/or money to be there really should know better.

Pretty sure spotlighting for deer in all states is illegal......so I'd turn the sob's in .

I have a few stories to tell...so I'll just tell 2 .

I was driving down my driveway one day and a lady had pulled in blocking me . She jumped out of her car to ask me if my gelding was a stallion because she was looking to breed more overo black and whites . It dumb founded me because no one in there right mind puts a stallion out to pasture with just t-posts and wire , not to mention it's against the law to have stallions pastured in our state . This coming from a woman who breeds paints for a living !!

My mother sells my eggs to her co-workers . One of them owns chickens ( bantams ) and will not eat her own eggs because they're poopy ! Can you tell me what difference there is between my eggs and hers ?!! Some people REALLY need to have permenant signs hung around thier necks !!

I was talking to my buddy once and mentioned my hens laying eggs and she looked at me and said, "Eggs come from chickens?" I was disgusted, honestly.

Then the same girl heard me say something about breeding a cow and a bull and she thought I was insane because cows and bulls couldnt breed, they're two different animals. Never knew that, ya know.

After showing people our four hens and the eggs that each one lays (they're all different), I've had people ask, "How many are roosters?"

When I answer, "[blink, blink, stammer] Uh, none of them."  They then proceed to inform me that "You CAN'T have eggs without a rooster."

Oh yeah!   And another person asked me if I take my eggs "somewhere to get them fertilized" since I don't have a rooster.

i've had conversations like that about ducks and chickens and how they can lay eggs anyways with a boy. i just tell them its like the bird's period, normally the stop eating eggs for awhile....oops. haha.

I also love getting new Fed EX people when shipping semen. (Horse semen). There's something about city boys and the idea of being anywhere near the semen of another creature that really gets to them.
