Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[PrairieChickens]

We have an A&W in our town that is VERY good. (from what I've heard, the quality of A&W varies widely depending on who's running that specific restaurant) If I want fast food, I go there. Unlike certain OTHER burger joints, THEIR sandwiches actually look like the picture!

No silly questions/comments about my eggs this week, but I did fool a few of my students with the question, "If a rooster is sitting on a roof and it lays an egg, which side will the egg roll off of?" The teacher I help couldn't stop giggling while the kids tried to guess.

We have In an Out burgers here--there meat is never frozen and you can see them running potatoes through a slicer through the window.

I have not been to a McDonalds in a couple of years.

If a plane crashes on the border of the US and Canada where do you bury the survivors?

OMG, I was telling a lady at work the other day that I'll be getting chickens this summer and plan to have lots and lots of eggs. I told her I'd bring some in for her so that she can taste how much better they are.

Know what she said?

Her: "Oh my GAWD, eeeeeewwwwww, I could never eat those eggs!"

Me: "Ummmm, why not?

Her: "Well, BECAUSE, they came out of a chicken's butt!"

Me: "Ummmmm. Huh? You eat eggs from the store, right?"

Her: "Well, yeah, of COURSE, but that's different!"

Me: "How is that different? Those eggs also came out of a chicken."

Her: "But those are all sanitary and come in a box."

Me: "I'll wash my eggs and box them for you too."

Her: "Blech, no way. I could never eat eggs from your chickens. That's just gross."

Me: "***?"

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!

LOL, this is just too much. No wonder I want to quit my job and become a pioneer woman and never have to leave the house...

As a kid I spent the summers on my grandparents small farm. My grandfather taught me how to milk but I would not drink the milk my mom had to send me with money for milk from the store because that milk was in a carton (before plastic jugs) and did not come out of some nasty old cow. My poor grandparents could not get me to believe that it was the same kind of milk but tasted a lot better than the stuff from the store. All the years I missed drinking real milk as God intended it to be. I was 8 when it started, hope your co-worker matures. Now I wish I had some COW milk it is absolutely wonderful. 8 and ignorant.

Not so much something someone said, but what she did.  I had a friend (emphasis on -had-)  who felt it was far more important to answer text messages on her cell phone than to pay attention to what was going on around her.  She followed me into the run one day, phone in hand, and after she nearly broke her leg on the feeder trough, got tangled in the bird netting, tripped over the watering can, and repeatedly put herself in a perfect position to get spurred by my rooster (after numerous warnings to not let him get behind her), I had to take the cellphone out of her hands and push her out of the run.  I couldn't seem to get it across to her that she needed to be alert when around the chickens, especially with Milton the Terrible around.

Grown woman twice my age, and she was too busy texting to mind her own feet.

I've had to tell my cousin and her friend that around horses. And my horse will knock over somebody that is standing to close and not paying ANY attention. She was standing right behind him, texting, and I told her to either look up or move. She said, "Hey, I'm older so I know more than you so shut up!!!!". I just said, "Fine, you know more than me, including knowledge about horses. Why don't you go catch one with this rope halter.". That was fun to watch.

I've finally finished reading this whole thread. *phew* No one's really said much about my chickens but people think I'm nuts for eating duck eggs.

I do have one not about chickens. My husband is a European city boy from The Netherlands, and the first time he was here visiting me in the middle of nowhere, we drove past a field with about 10-15 deer standing in it. He says, "Are those WILD deer???" I couldn't stop giggling for about 10 minutes. What else would they be?? I still tease him about that one all the time.

Can you imagine the hysteria when I saw a hummingbird for the first time? We were in the USA in 2009, and I never realized hummingbirds live there. I'm pretty sure I scared the hummingbird almost to dead.

My uncle thought that ducks turned into swans. The ugly duckling story wasn't as truthful as it seemed.

<oy vey> And, I thought my Brooklyn born ex was bad because he thought a pony was a baby horse.

These are the kind of questions used in tests of auditory comprehension and reasoning skills. It's amazing some of the answers I've gotten. When I ask which U.S. president is buried in Washington's tomb, the kids invariably say, "Abraham Lincoln". Just kills me. I've gotten some pretty good laughs, though; I could write a book.
