Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

[chickenman7000]

its got to be when someone said to me "oh, you got a rooster, so you get eggs." even though you don't need a rooster for unfertilized eggs.

"Wait, you let your chickens just run around in the backyard? Won't they fly away or something?"

Good grief. Common sense should tell them that's rubbish.

I am starting to wonder if people have always been this stupid or is the human race on a downward spiral.

No, not originally, only the smart ones lived......... but we've made it way to easy for the stupid ones to survive.... hence the downward spiral.

telling a customer one day (at my place of employment) that I stood in the hen house and had one of my rir pop an egg out of her butt and right into my hand and that it was the coolest thing ever.- she said "the egg came out of where???" "your kidding, right?"

I had someone tell me that they wanted an emu as an apartment pet... they figured they could take it for walks in the city and make it wear diapers.................................

My sister (twenty five, mind you!) looked at me with disgust when, upon answering her question, "Yes, we do eat the chickens eggs". She replied with "Can't they have like...babies?" ... I tried to explain it to her, but she wouldn't hear of it. She's a strict vegan.

AND! Better yet, I got to school a very intelligent, political major, board-member-to-be at a local college that, yes, hens can lay eggs without roosters. I used the "it's like their period" method of explanation. I also explained (with pictures) the difference in a fertilized & non-fertilized egg.

I had a friend who was hindu and vegetarian. She wouldn't eat eggs because they could have been a chick. Sometimes it's easier to not even try to teach people....

Her nutrition was hellacious. She would eat cheese tho....

A co-worker told me a few days ago about a group of 4th graders that had come to the dairy farm a few years ago where I work now. And as he was giving them a tour of the farm, some of the kids raised their hands and asked "Why are you doing all this work when you can go to the store and buy milk there?" *facepalm* So sad...most people nowadays don't know where their food comes from, let alone how their food is grown/raised! If you have kids, take them to as many different farms as you can, so they can learn how hardworking farmers grow/raise food to feed the world.
