Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

[stilldeb]

My hairdresser won't eat 'brown eggs from the grocery store' because she thinks they are fertilized eggs and she says fertilized eggs are gross (!?) I told her they are just from brown egg laying chickens and none of them had ever MET a rooster. Then she said well, she couldn't eat them anyway because the yolks were TOO ORANGE.

i offered my new upstairs neighbor eggs when we first moved here, and she said she would not eat them because she would know they did not come from the grocery store?

- i told her i could inspect them and put a little ink stamp on them if she wanted!!

i also get asked a lot if the inside white of the EE's eggs are green like the outside??!! truly green eggs and ham

I have a whole bunch:
my goats are now in a petting zoo 1 has horns and the other does not, both are female. a man went to look at them and said "oh, look a boy and a girl" so my sister explained and added that she owned goats and he never did so she would know better, he wouldn't believe her!! he argued for 15 minutes that the one with horns had to be male!

Recently a friend of my mother's came over to see the chickens and she had a lot of questions, now I must add that she is a college grad. and I think she has 4 degrees.
1. How do chickens nurse there babies?
2. How do you milk them?
3. how often do they give birth?
and after my 16 year old sister explained that chickens are not mammals.
4. What are mammals?
5. eww so eggs are a chicken's menstruation? I am never eating eggs again!

I couldn't believe it!!

Gawd, this is hysterical.

I've also had people ask me questions like those! I went trick-r-treating with one of my pygmy goats, and everybody wanted to pet 'the dog'; and a lot of people that get eggs from us won't take green, blue, or brown ones, because they are 'unhealthy' or 'fertile'. And some people won't even take honey from us because it isn't as good as that stuff from the store---which is totally fake, and probably from China like just about everything...lol.

And my birds are very tame---but I can't tell you how many people ask me why a fifteen-year-old girl would dare get chickens. They are, after all, dangerous, diseased animals.

And for all those city-slickers that say their 'vegetarian' and wouldn't dare do what we do---you know that old Indian saying?

Vegetarian is a old Indian term for 'poor hunter'. Lol.

Ok in her defense, there is a subtle taste difference between differently raised chickens. I think my free range birds have a stronger flavor than the store bought birds. It might be because most store bought chicken is pumped full or saline solution and preservatives. All I know is that to me, free ranged organically raised for birds taste better.

Becky89* :

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

Oh thats a good idea!!!!!!!!!​

when did being country mean lacking sophistication? *hides her muddy boots*
BTW ever been to Huntsville Alabama? A very cosmopolitan city that also happens to have farm animals in the city limits. People from all over the world to work and go to school here because one of the largest military bases (Redstone Arsenal), NASA, and major engineering companies are here. It is listed as one of the top ten places to work at in the US, with low cost of living, higher pays, one of the nations lowest unemployment rates, and it's also listed as a very green city as well with lost of trees, parks, Museums, learning centers, and pedestrian friendly streets. (I'm proud of my area can you tell?)
Oh yeah check out Houston Texas. A mix of big city and country all in one. Its awesome
