Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

[justbugged]

SillyChicken: Your chicken is rather disturbing which why I like so much. After reading Ema's description of where she was living and where she now able live, I am certain that I would rather live in a world with your mutant chickens than Ema's old neighborhood. When I saw the picture I was laughing out loud and all but rolling on the floor.

Funniest thing I've heard in a LOONGG time is...............we need to close ALL the factory farms. When asked what they planned to eat when they were all shut down I got a blank stare. No one THINKS it through.

I was just chatting with my co-worker about this thread and she told me: "I don't eat fertilized eggs. I think it's wrong."
What got us started on this was the previous post about the woman who could tell the difference between white eggs and brown eggs. She has heard of people saying something similar, that they can tell the difference...interesting. But then she made the above statement. She doesn't have a problem with other's eating the fertilized eggs, she just doesn't want to do it herself. So she only buys store bought eggs that are not marked "fertilized". Again, interesting.

Is she a vegetarian? Does she eat chicken? If so, then what's the difference, it's just more chicken. Just sayin'.

Nope, not a vegetarian and likes chicken...just won't eat a fertilized egg. I agree with you...it's just more chicken!

I told a guy I have chickens, he said he used to have some bantams when he was a kid. So I said "Oh cool, what breed?" To which he replied, "Bantams, the small ones"

I didn't want to pry, it was either top secret, or he had no clue what breed.

LOL my math teacher once asked me what bantams WERE which is more understandable than what she said after I told her;

"Really? There are Mini chickens???"
It was funny to me especially because she is the high-maintenence, gets-her-nails-done, squealy voiced type of lady Hahahaha

My family avoids fertilized eggs do to the blood spot that is often in the eggs. I have been known to just pick out the spot, but our family does not eat any blood due to religious beliefs. I was raised with this belief system, and the thought of eating any form of blood is very disgusting to me personally. So I understand when people have troubles with that part of eating fertilized eggs. But I must say it cracks me up when I hear of people thinking that their is a fully formed chick in the egg just because it's fertilized, or that somehow it was going to be a chick. I am fairly sure that without some type of incubation that an egg is just an egg fertilized or not.

I was reading last night about the different ones here on BYC that have hatched chicks from store bought fertile eggs. I might just have to try that sometime.

Btw, bloodspots and fertilization have nothing to do with each other. An unfertilized egg is just as likely to have a bloodspot as a fertilized egg.

Well I should have known better. I am going to blame my mother for that piece of misinformation. She isn't wrong very often, but then she was raised before there were computers.

I am so going to have mention this to my DH also. He had a cow when I bought a couple of dozen eggs at the auction, because he said that they would have blood spot in them. I told him that i didn't care, but then thought that maybe he knew something about the matter. That was a very expensive 36 eggs I bought that day. Since DH wouldn't eat them I went and bought a incubator, and tried to hatch them. 2 of the chicks made it. To say the least I know a lot more than I did before.
