Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

My brother told me his wife "at the time" told him she would never eat a egg from a yard chicken. He asked her why, and she stated she wasn't eating anything that comes from you know where and she would stick with the store bought ones. I also had a women tell me she thought marshmallows came from a small tree.

In about a month we are moving into our new home and then our chicken adventure begins, well MY chicken adventure begins, DH isn't the least bit interested and has informed me he doesn't do chickens and made me agree that none will be eaten. I can live with that. So the other day we were talking about the new place and I mentioned chickens, can't remember exactly what I was saying and he said, "well if you can't have a rooster, how will you get eggs?"

He's a bright man so I was totally stunned. Guess the general populations just figures animal girls work a little differently than the human type.

After I explained the chicken facts of life to him, he went on his merry way and I chuckled the rest of the day.

I had my silkie roo with me and my mom at Ace Hardware, and this woman passed by, did a double take at the roo, and said "that's a really pretty cat. where'd you get it?".
I told her it was a chicken and she was skeptical until I showed her his beak and feet. I've done something odd also. In Vegas I saw a hobo and tried to feed him Skittles, until he cursed at me

Well, to be fair, human females ovulate regardless of whether there is a male in the situation or not - our eggs just aren't "laid" as gloriously as hens are

I think it's the widespread "wives tales" that get things like this circulated with such enthusiasm. I get the feeling that some old farmer said it to a city slicker/newbie once to get a kick out of it...

My mom came to pick me up from art club after school and brought our miniature white poodle in. My mom was carrying the dog and a girl in the art club walked up and started petting our dog, then the girl (she was serious) said, "Is that an albino?!" I guess she said that because our dog has pink skin, but why does everyone think if something is white it is an albino. Please look at the eyes, if they are pinkish red then it is an albino! Lol

When a boy in school found out I had peacocks, he said "Cool you should train them to say peacock." I guess he thought peacocks can be trained like parrots to say things? Not sure about that one...

I was at Church camp and this older girl was 'leading' us in the dark down a trail...She was deathly afraid of everything in the woods. She was afraid an animal would come out and attack her. The trail lead us past a field full of cows, and the fence was broken. She stopped and was afraid to go on because she told us the cows would come attack her.

Ok, old, old post....

But answered the phone, the guy on the line didn't want to speak to any of the people who are off shore in Nebraska.

Umm, we don't have any shore to be off of.

Reminds me of an old joke about someone from Michigan talking to someone from down south and the Michigan person mentions where they are from and the Southerner says, "Isn't that in Canada?"

i've lived down south for about 7 years, i can imitate a petty good southern accent

My mom has a pic in her workplace of my oldest son doing chalk drawings on the driveway, with a young Sumatra chicken watching (it's a real cute shot.)
A customer of hers is looking at the pic and says, "Is that a...chicken?"
Mom: Yes.
Customer: But...it's black!
Mom: Uh, yes, yes it is.
