Heh... the best part of that is, my wife was FOR the measure. But she didn't vote, so her opinion didn't count. It's really fun ribbing her about that.

It's not good for high volume, but apparently the preferred method for killing chickens is to grab the feet, grab the head, and pull until you feel a little *pop*, severing the spinal cord.
A coworkers former college roommate was working at a Tyson Chicken plant as part of his agricultural management degree. The interns all had to learn all the positions on the line as part of the management training. When it came his turn to kill the chicken, he pulled too hard and ripped it's head off. It did the running around spraying blood thing, as expected. He got ribbed about it the rest of his time at the plant.

I sold a car to a "chicken-chaser" once. At the time i worked for a dealer that specialized in bad credit deals, and this guy had been a chicken chaser for 4 years.....since his promotion to that position. I didn;t ask. His broncoII that he traded stunk so goddamn bad, I made the detail guy park it away for me when the deal was done.
I have a strict rule about sitting in a car that is not worth as much as my pants.

I should hope not. That would be pretty inefficient compared to stop-drop-and-roll. There are <i>some</i> things I can do for myself. Maybe instead you could just drive me to the hospital afterwards?

We (US) did away with something like 72,000 chickens yesterday over the avian flu... Mother nature or terrorism concentrated ag is an easy target. Of course the back yard folks in asia aren't doing so well either.

Why do you sign your name when it's automatically added to the left of your post? It's not as if we're going to miss who it's from.

It's something I used to do when I first came here, and then that thought came to me in a sort of revelation. After that thought occured to me, I couldn't figure out why I was doing it, so I stopped. I was just curious what your reaction would be to the same thought.
I don't mean it in a sarcastic way at all. |

As sad as that looks, I had to laugh. And to the person who said original or crispy...LOL, you rule!
