Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

I was riding on the trail with my friends, and some beach tourists stopped to admire our ponies. "Are those your ponies?" We answer, "Yes" then the lady turns to her husband and says, "Awwwww.... they must be newborns!" Ummmmm...... first of all, my pony was 29 years old, NOT a newborn in pony standards, and secondly.... who would ride and newborn pony!?!? Jeez, some people are dumb.

The most common thing said when people see my silkies are "What is THAT?"

At the county fair, a guy asked if my Rhode Island was a gil or boy. I said a pullet. He turned away and said, 'nice turkey" (?)
Also at Fair, someone thought all chickens with combs are roosters. There was many exclamations of "LOOK! It's the rooster that layed an egg!" that day.

In his mind you are the one that is totally clueless. I have a just turned 18 year old that has the same issue. I think it's a boy thing because my 19 year old (girl) and my 16 year old (girl) have already outgrown that phase.

Example quote "Just because you have driven for 25 years doesn't mean you know as much as you think about driving!"

He has never taken drivers ed nor does he have a drivers liscense (his choice) and was trying to tell me that a shared turn lane is in all reality called a "load lane"

Our eighteen year old daughter can't pass the written drivers test to save her life going on the third attempt. She has to pay every time to now that she is 18 and going for her drivers test not the permit.

I think my son would pass the written on the first try but I won't let him take it cause I don't think he is responsible enough yet and just get in more trouble then he is in already.

Kids say some silly things.

To be fair, I didn't know this before I started looking into chickens. I especially didn't know how many breeds there were, or that they came in different sizes or that there is endangered chickens.
I think it's all got to do with how far away we are from our food.

Working as a Park Ranger in AZ. Not said to me but over heard when I was trying to catch a rattlesnake that was on the trail (ever tried to catch a rattlesnake with bus load of foregin tourists snapping pictures and talking in 20different languages at the same time??!!)

"She really should grab that thing by the tail" "You want to stay as far away from the head as possible"


Dunno about ya'll but I'm gonna have the end with the fangs under control, not flopping around where ever it can!!

When our class made cornbread, people were freaking out over the egg. Someone said "Oh, I whipped up the little chicken!"

This person watched eggs hatch last year and was explained to by me a thousand times, "NOT ALL EGGS PRODUCE CHICKS".

And I asked the "volunteer" (my teacher's sister) reasurred me, "I know you don't like to eat chicken. Don't worry, this egg didn't come from a chicken."

This woman is a teacher herself!!!

The things we learn from others....

I was talking with my neighbor about my chicks that I had. I told her about my favorite black chick (it was a BA) and she said, "wow, I thought all chicks were yellow!

the and the usual "how do chickens lay eggs without a roo?"

 

[MareeZoCool]

One friend from the city asked, " Well if you have a rooes that mean those eggs will plop baby chickens into your hot fry pan when you crack them open?"

one more: " are those chicken nuggets really made from batter-dipped baby chickens?"

I love the confusion & rumors!

Yesterday somebody asked me how many eggs can a hen lay, after she has mated with a rooster, before she has to be mated again for more eggs.

One of my neighbors has a 4 year old grandson who has the run of his farm. A couple of months ago, one of the mares had her foal. The mare is a really gentle soul; the kids play around her feet and she never turns a hair. Well, another neighbor and their kids were visiting and the grandson and a little girl about his age ran off to play. They were out in the field and got thirsty, and they decided to try and get some milk from the mare... He says it's lots thicker than cow's milk.

You should see people turn green and make faces when they hear this!
