Fowl Play
Near my apartment there is a live poultry vendor. A price board on the wall outside its door lists prices for chickens, roosters, rabbits, ducks, guinea hens, and "fowl." I've always been puzzled by what you get when you buy fowl. I mean, I thought chickens, roosters, ducks, and guinea hens were fowl. Are they offering some other sort of bird that they can't identify beyond the fact it seems to fall under that general category? Does anyone know what this means?

Maybe it's pheasant or geese.

ReplyDeleteI heard a story about a little Asian lady trying to ride a San Francisco bus. She had just purchased a live chicken for dinner and was taking it home. The bus driver refused to let her board with a live chicken. Naturally, she broke its neck right where she was standing and paid the fare.
ReplyDeleteThe article is so wonderful that I want to write something about myself.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, my boyfriend gave me a lot of runescape gold as the gift. But I will buy runescape or rs gold to return him because I do not like that someone gives me something free. Although the runescape money is attractive for me, I will insist on returning the cheap rs gold to him.
