Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

I just finished reading the whole thread. Lots of laughs!

I've read part of this thread, don't have time to read all of it now.

Overheard at a 4-H fair where there was a mini and a regular sized horse in a stall together. Aaww look! That horse has a baby.

I was at a livestock auction. They had a few Lamanca (sp?) goats there. Someone made the comment, I hat it when they crop the ears on the goats. It's so cruel. (I explained to them they were born that way.)

I was at a farm stand. They had egg cartons w/different colored eggs in the cartons. I asked them about their chickens. I was informed that depending on what you fed them, they'd lay different colored eggs. I tried to educate them, don't know if it worked or not.

I do some volunteering at a local nature center. Recently, they had a community campfire and night walk. I don't always go on the walk since I get vertigo attacks, and sometimes walking at night will trigger them. So, I stayed by the fire. Another woman also stayed. She was older. She started telling me about this senior trip that they went on, I don't recall now where it was to, may have been to a zoo. But, she told me that they brought out 4 really unusual animals for them to see. One was a chicken. I'm sitting there trying to figure out what's so unusual about a chicken. Then she says, it's some kind of new breed, an American chicken or something like that. It lays green eggs. I told her, oh, it may have been an Ameraucana or an Araucana, and that I have chickens that lay green eggs. She looks at me and says, your chickens lay green eggs? I told her yes.

Her what do you do w/them?

Me W/what?

Her The eggs.

Me I eat them

Her What do they taste like?

Me just like any other egg

I've had people think my eggs were rotten or moldy since they're green.

A co-worker heard me talking about my little farm and asked me what kind of animals I had. I told her that I had chickens & she asked if they lay eggs (yes); she replied, "You don't EAT them, DO you?" duh...

It just blows me away that people actually think that. Just where do think eggs come from? I guess it would be the same place that milk comes from....the store.

A student told me this morning that they don't eat their chickens eggs,,, because his mom told them they were "dirty" inside because of the roosters.

Somebody should tell that woman that those "dirty" eggs are sold in the store. And often they are more expensive than the "clean" ones.

When I was 13 I raised 10 ducklings, that had been abandoned by their mother, for a family friend that had a farm.
I spent every single day for 3 months of summer vacation with my ducklings. I talked and read to them and they followed me around and sat in my lap.
We had a visitor to our house and I wanted to show off my ducklings. She said after watching them cuddle with me, "When do you plan on butchering them? I'd help if you gave me a couple."

I'm sure they were eventually butchered when they went back to the farm, but really do you ask a 13 year old when they are planning on killing their pet?

Now when my friends ask me when I'm butchering my pet chickens to eat, I tell them as soon as you kill your dog and eat it.

i love the responce of asking when are you butchering your chickens, i used to get that alot at my school. i'm going to say that now! thanks!

This is more garden related, but I worked with a girl who was shocked that dill pickles are made from cucumbers
