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

Avian Flu isn't as bad as bringing stupidity into the office, like she did. You eventually get over Avian Flu. Stupidity lasts forever.

Kinda reminds me of a Churchill story, in the midst of WWII a woman whom was of the opposite party in Parliament saw him drunk in public and said "Sir Winston, I do believe you are drunk!' and he replied "yes Madam and you are Ugly by morning I shall be sober and you will still be ugly"

You actually can bring avian flu into the office. If you bring a sick bird to the office and let it poop in her coffee.

When people found out I had chickens they said I was gross for keeping such a "disease carrying creature"

And that having chickens makes me have too many pets,the way I look at it is,chickens give you eggs,and meat if you choose,I think they earn their stay so to speak lol.

He had many, but this is probably my favorite of Old Winnie's quotes:

"Sir, you're drunk!"

"Yes, Madam, I am. But in the morning, I will be sober and you will still be ugly."

And, did you know that Alice Roosevelt Longworth (daughter of Teddy) hated having uninvited people walk through her front yard, so she planted it in poison ivy? She also said, "If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me."

I love these irascible old farts and aspire to be one myself one day. Currently, people are calling me "a hoot". But, I'm working on it.

And that having chickens makes me have too many pets.

Oh .... there's a limit? What is the magic number of pets that qualifies as "too many"? How about "just right"; what's that number? Who decides? Does it only count for animals that are kept in the house, or does it go for those outside, too? What if your pets are inside AND outside; how are they counted? How about fish; do they count? How many can you have in an aquarium before you're over the limit and have toooo many pets? What about Koi in a fish pond or cows? Do they count? If chickens are kept outside and produce food, but are considered "pets", how about cattle? Is one cow ok, but a herd too many? Do birds at your birdfeeders count? You're feeding them and probably watch and/or talk to them, so aren't they like having chickens?

Where can I find these rules; is there a manual? And, *who* wrote them?

Inquiring minds want to know.

This is closer to "irascible old fart", isn't it? Like I said, "I'm working on it".

oh geez, now I have to think about all those questions.....ok, I'm done, here is my answer. You can never have too many pets!!! Chickens, cows, turtles, rats, pill bugs, fish and any other kind of animal you happen have are all pets, as long as you take care of them and love them. Ok, maybe not pill bugs.
And now I'm starting to sound like a preacher or something. Gah! Philosophy makes my brain hurt.
