Ah, i get you.

What do you reckon Phil's national day would be - "National freezing one's nuts off fishing on an icy lake Day"? Mine would be national Gin day, to be celebrated in whichever country had it as a national day!

Hey sour, good day to you sir!

I'm passing this along to you all so you can have a chuckle (or shake your heads)...Sumi found it on FB:
A conversation I had yesterday morning...seriously:
Me: Hello?
Person: Hi. I heard you haVe chicks for sale.
Me: yes I do. What can I help you with?
Person: I have a couple of questions first.
Me: Okay. I will do my best to answer them.
Person: Do you have vegitarian chickens?
Me: Um...what?
P: Yes, I only want vegitarian chickens. I don't want chickens that eat bugs and frogs and stuff.
Me: Uh, well, can I explain...
P: Also, are all of your chicks freerange? I don't believe they should be in cages.
Me: Well, they are only a week or so old, so...
P: And I need them to be litter trained, because I don't want them pooping everywhere.
Me: Wait...WHAT????
P: And I want 3 roosters and 3 hens each, but I only want breeds that don't crow because I am in the city.
Me: So, let me get this You want vegitarian, litter trained, free range babies that won't make noise. Correct?
P: Exactly! When can I come get some?
Me: I am so sorry. We are all sold out of those for the rest of the year.
P: Oh, darn. I told my husband we should have ordered earlier.
Me: Wow. Okay. Thank you for calling.
Side note...hot coffee coming up through the nose hurts very very much, as does th resulting choking on it.
(cross posted, so if you have seen this...I apologize. And no, this seriously was not a prank call.)

Oh, my! It's hard to believe that someone can be that 'out of touch' with reality.

I know, but sour you welcome new members, think about it. It seems some people do buy animals without having a clue what they are like, let alone how to care for them. I welcomed one a while back that was on the point of giving them up, she was disgusted because they pooped so much (especially at night). She didn't know birds in general poop a lot? All it takes to find that out is park under a mulberry tree or power line once.

Reminds me of when we were building our coop. One of the other town council members lives two doors down, and had been watching the build. We'd also discussed how excited I was to be getting my chickens outside so none of this was any surprise to him. One day during his walk he stopped to talk to me.

"So, it's almost done,huh?"
"Yep, and I think it's looking pretty good!"
"Yeah, it is. So, you putting chickens in there?"
"Ah,no, Dennis - it's a temporary holding place for my granddaughter's pet armadillos!" Here's your sign!
