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

[sunflour]

OH one more: My dear cousin who is pushing 30 years old thought ALL the chickens ever eaten were hens. When I asked what do you think happens to the roosters since they do not lay eggs, he was dumbfounded and said... I never really thought about that.

Guess because……all at grocery look female?

So, I guess this means that a sense of humor is learned. My kids' humor is much like mine; dry and sarcastic much of the time, but we also loved The Pink Panther movies, Weekend at Bernies', and the old cartoons (Yosemite Sam, B. Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, etc.) I've never watched Saturday Night Live because I thought the skits were like those we did in high school; silly. A friend of mine was up here a couple of summers ago and she wanted to go to see that "comedy", TED, that turned out to be disgusting. I was embarrassed to be seen coming out of the theater, but she thought it was hilarious. And, she goes ballistic if you say "shut-up" or "stupid" in her presence.

Well, back to my property where I can hide behind my locked gate.

I do think sense of humor is learned….got my sarcasm by marrying the King of Sarcasm…

I have to learn to be more careful, many just don't understand it.

I loved the same shows you listed…but did love SNL when I was in college …the years with Chevy Chase, Gildna Radner, Belushi, Morris , Curtain and others. The first years of the show in the '70's must just have hit the topics of interest to me. After they all moved on, it was not funny at all.

Wal-Mart eggs DO have cooties! Have you seen those sickly yolks

?? Or maybe that is just from the pasteurization process...(kidding)

ROFLMBO!!!

I never got the pink panther, it seemed too "English humor: for me. I also never watched SNL for the same reasons. I have not seen the movie TED but I have it on my fake TIVO, I scroll by it and never start it. Maybe some day.

I do not get the reference to "shut-up or "stupid" Did I miss something?

I wish I had a locked gate!

I used to watch the Pink Panther movies with my dad. I guess it takes a somewhat dry sense of humor. As for TED, watching a stuffed teddy bear hump a light post in a grocery checkout line, along with some pretty graphic stuff to go with it, isn't my idea of funny. Save it for the 7th grade boys' locker room.

As far as "shut-up" and "stupid" go, it's a personal thing with her. She's thinks those words are crass, but the movie TED isn't. (Go figure) We were in a tatting class (hand lace-making) together and it was very detailed work and quite frustrating. The nice lady next to me said something about how she finally "got" something. I looked at her through slitted eyes and said (mostly under my breath), "Oh, shut up". She laughed. My friend said in an imperious tone, "In MY house, I don't allow people to say shut up or stupid." I responded, "How stupid. I guess it's a good thing we're not in your house, huh?"

I'm really starting to hate people.

mmmm...
Guess it is a good thing we are not in her house!

Your review of TED is not making me want to watch it...I am willing to bet it will sit on my recorder until I decide I need the space for something else.

BTW... stupid is a go to word around here. ... I have 2 dogs both of which are....

I'm always saying, "Stupid cat" (as she falls flat on her face when attempting to pounce on her brother. I think she's part flying squirrel.) Or, "Shut up, you silly chicken" (as they follow me around the yard, cackling loudly). Funny. *They* don't get upset.

For starters, I have a problem with anyone who says ".. I don't allow", or "You let him/her do ___?". Kinda sets my teeth on edge. So, it didn't go over well when this same friend told me that her 30 something daughter recently called her and asked for "permission" to get a facial piercing. "Absolutely NOT! I forbid it!" I thought I was listening to some old bat from a 1930's black and white movie! I'm not wild about facial piercings, but when my 19 year old son came home unable to "thpeak" because his tongue was swollen from having it pierced, I asked, "Didn't that hurt??" He replied, "Yeth, it hurths, and if it doesn't sthop hurting thoon, I'm gonna take it out!!"

Good 'ol sympathetic mom laughed so hard, the tears ran down my legs! After he swallowed his tongue jewelry in his sleep on 2 separate occasions, he left it out and the whole business was forgotten ... except for the refrigerator magnet that his sister gave me that says, "Tongue pierthing ith STOOPID!" He's 35 now, and still hasn't lived it down

Hmmmmm ... except she *swears* she has a 166 IQ. In my profession, I've given hundreds of IQ tests and never got above 144. Furthermore, I don't have a test, nor do I know of one in standard use, that goes above 150. Hmmmmmm ... again.

I've found over the years that those who claim to have high IQs and bring it up, don't. All the people I've met like that have given the impression of below normal.
