Funniest Things A City Slicker Has Ever Said To You?

Oh, I use that comparison all the time... when people ask if you need a rooster to get eggs I say (to females) .."Well you produce an egg every 28 days, right? Just like us the guy is only needed if you want babies" To guys I use their wife, mom, girlfriend, instead of 'you' ... it usually clicks pretty fast when you say it that way.

What bothers me about this is that fact that the people who ask this question are clearly ignorant about where the food they eat comes from. It's sad to me that people aren't more educated about what they consume. They just believe that it's all ok because the FDA approves it.

Sorry.... Just a small rant.

A few years ago I was driving my two aunts to Vermont from Manhattan. They don't get out of NYC very often so I thought a little cross-country skiing and fresh air would be fun for them to try. As we were heading north, one of my aunts asked why was there a sign with a deer on it. I told her that was a caution, deer crossing sign. About a minute later she asked where were the deer, she didn't see any. It took all my energy to keep a straight face for the rest of the trip. In addition, they totally freaked out driving at night because there weren't any street light on the roads. It was a very long weekend!

A friend of my dads came over once and my dad was showing him our chickens and the coop. His friend said, "Feather Footed Chickens Don't Lay Eggs". I was thinking to myself Gee, I wonder how they reproduce then!

Maybe find on of those educational films about a egg laying farm/facility and show that to them. That should change their minds.

I love all these they are soo funny!! I was asked once when giving a tour of a dairy farm if the black and white cows give white milk and if the brown cows give the chocolate milk!! I about died right there!!

Now we have longhorns and asked why the bulls have udders, and babies, cuz you know all cows with horns are boys! And for future reference I have been told that all cows are steers, that was news to me, lol. I remember in high school, which was a while ago a girl asked if puppies really come out a dogs butt, well where did she think they come from, sheesh. Keep'em coming I get a kick out of this

I've told my dh that, using simple language, and he still doesn't believe me about the chickens.

Being a nitpicker here, but ovulation is not the same as a period. Very few animals have periods. All ovulate. I can see some problems if your girls think the two are the same.

Lol I tell my friends that all the time when they say I'm so mean for killing Bambi I say no I let Bambi live it is his dad and older brothers I go for.

I got something similar while heading out goose hunting once. "Goose hunting? Don't you know that geese mate for life?"

My response? "Yes, sir. That's why I always make sure to kill'em both."
