Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

[TheMoodyHere]

I sell eggs and try to clearly state that the colors are mixed unless they request one color only, yet I still get complaints sometimes that they only wanted brown because those taste better. I have no problem ginving just one color but people don't bother to read. I have one customer who only wants white... her reason? The white ones are like store eggs and the brown ones are farm eggs and she doesn't want farm eggs lol!

It actually isn't the only time that someone has said it to me. Apparently it is an urban myth around here that white eggs are bleached from brown eggs. AAmmmmaaazzzziiiinnnggg!

About an hour ago, the visiting insurance person asked if blue and green eggs are edible. Then, "Oh. So white eggs are the brown ones after they've been bleached".

Whatevah.

I, too, have heard people say they do/don't like a certain color egg because of the taste: e.g., "I don't like the taste of the brown ones; they're too strong or something." Huh? That's like saying milk from brown cows and spotted ones tastes different.

Yup, yup. I think I'll use the cow analogy next time. E.g., "So, what color cow do you prefer your milk from?" I love the puzzled looks on their faces when you ask something like that.

the only way I could ever think it would be a difference in taste between chickens in the same flock is if there is something wrong with the hen or some sort of slight biochemical thing where 1 in like a million could tell a difference. kinda like some dogs are better police scent dogs than others, some pigs are better truffle finders...

We will get up to 10 dozen eggs and we get red, pink, purple, blue, green, brown and white. So to get rid of the extras we sell them at church. Our church is in the middle of Spokane, Wa. The people there actually are more interested in the colored ones. Yes I have advertised them as fresh, naturally-colored easter eggs. I laugh at how excited people get over them. I don't get it.

Also, I got my friends at school to either eat a chicken heart or gizzard(my grandma had made noodles with gizzards and hearts)and then I told them what they were. 2 turned green, 1 wasn't sure what to think and 2 liked it. I just shook my head at the two that turned green. Would somebody please explain it to me cause I fail to get it. Even I won't eat some stuff but that, seriously?

I'll have t otry that analogy! I wonder if they will realize that cows are different? I worked with a woman once at a Dollar store.... we always got Holstein cow figurines. My mother was a dairy farmer and milked Ayshire's. I looked at my manager who was working with me at the time as asked 'why do we only get Holstein cow stuff?' She then replied that she didn't know there were different kinds of cows.

Next time someone says that to you, give them a brown egg, or even some brown egg shells, and ask them to see what luck they have bleaching it white. Then ask them to report back to you with the results.

No offense city slickers,but if you keep this up i'll have a heart attack....of laughing!

Don't worry, it's a small percentile of us who do this (and the rest of us prefer not to be associated with these people).
