Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

Our black JG and Orphs were freeranging with the 2 white banty Cochin roos. One of the bantys was crowing his heart out. Egg buyer saw the crew and went "How do you get white feathered babies from black feathered parents?"

This wasn't said to me, but my dad heard this from a friend. In my hometown there is a small lake at the city limits. It is tradition every winter for the volunteer firefighters to cut ice blocks from this lake and build an ice castle downtown. Said town is in a very touristy area, and some out-of-towner woman told my dad's friend that it was terrible that they did this, didn't they know the lake would dry up from taking all that ice every year?

No, because
#1 it rains
#2 it snows (a lot)
#3 the lake is spring-fed

Old family story... my cousin (we are from WV) when we were 10 years old used to say that she didn't eat "yard eggs" - that is an egg that comes from the chickens who run around in the yard. She would only eat eggs bought from the store because they came from factories.

Oh' well...it's yard eggs for us

Oh yeah.. my niece and nephew rented a house and it had chickens in a pen, she found an egg one day and called me to ask me if they were safe to eat...I said 'of course', she said 'Oh, I threw the nasty thing over the fence'.

I'm from WV too and had mentioned this to a lady I had met while on vacation and she looked at me and asked, "Does WV have paved roads?"

I had my 6 week old half-feathered in silver laced Wyandotte perched on my shoulder outside once when 2 men pulled into our driveway to ask if they could purchase my uncle's old car. They seemed pretty intelligent as they were reciting the make, model, etc of the car, until all of sudden, one of the men turns to me and, with a dead-serious face, asked "wow! That is one good looking parrot you've got there on your shoulder! What kind of parrot is he?" I tried to keep a straight face while I informed him that the so called "parrot" was actually a young chicken called a silver laced Wyandotte

They were both bright red after that, and I started cracking up right after they left

so i guess this doesn't really fit in the catagory of "city slickers" but it's still funny... my neighbor raises pigs every year. he usually doesn't name them, but the neighborhood kids do (last year they were "whitey and brownie" also known as "plato and arastotle" ), but this year he decided to name them. they are Obama, Osama and Dali Llama!

Along these same lines I have a niece that thinks I am a combination of the devil incarnate and an axe murderer because I raise and process my own meat chickens. The only chicken she will eat is from KFC because, according to her, they don't use real chickens. You see, they changed their name from Kentucky Fried Chicken to KFC because they no longer serve real chickens. I haven't asked her what she thinks they do serve. I am not sure I want to know...

Why not ride a Clydesdale? I would if I had one. I used to ride a Percheron. She was over six feet at the withers and she weighed over a ton. Not everyone's cup of tea I admit, but I like to ride drafters. Other people do, too.

Nothing against riding them, but she was a 13 year old girl who was less than five feet tall. She had to use the fence to hop on.

i like drafts, too, there's this huge belgian at my barn, like 18 hands, he has a great personality and any one of the ponies probably could (and do) beat him up

he's a really sweet boy, though and in the summer we put all the little kids on his back. he can fit seven of them!

ooh! i have a great story! okay, so at this camp i went to last year there was this really annoying clingy girl who latched onto me and my friends. she came into our room at like six in the morning to tell us she was going down to breakfast... we weren't even AWAKE. she also told us about her "amazing" band and the logo she "cleverly" made up... the band was called the rock star's and the logo was a star with the word rock in it

. that's what she was like. anyway, a few months later we went to a big horse show and she was there

and she started telling us about all "her" horses. she said she had a horse "just like that one". my friend said, "you mean a clydsdale? how many hands is he?" the girl put out her hands (the wrong way, i might add) and counted them up like a mime. "five" she announced. "wow," i said, "that's HUGE"

A girl who works with my mom said she thought that roosters were a totally different species than chickens/hens!!!!
