Had a friend stop by today and she asked me, "What is a Range Chicken"?

I told her that I never heard of one. She says "There is a sing down the road that they are giving away free eggs".



I think about it for a bit....then it dawns on me.

The sign says: Free Range Chicken Eggs.

I explained to her what the sign really mean't. She was embarrassed but laughed it off.

LOL....city folk
 
I have a brooding free range hen hatched out nine chicks.
She nested in my tractor shed.
She escaped and came over from neighbor's lot when they ended their chicken experiment.
I don't mind them too much as they eat all the bugs in the grass.
She will cluck her way all over the yard and into the nearby pasture with the chicks right besides her.
At night she finds the tightest corner and tucks them all under her.
They sure are cute when they are young.

I remember my aunt (dad's sister) visiting when I was a kid. Dad announced after breakfast that he was going to look at a Milking Shorthorn bull. Aunt Grace got a troubled look on her face and asked dad "But Ray, how can that be?"
 
My buddy had a business & called it Ben's Small Engine Repair. So a local guy came in & ask'm "You any relation to the Smalls over on Crooked Run?" Sometimes poorly worded & sometimes poorly read.
 
Not only wording but punctuation counts as well , try this one .

'' When can we eat Grandma ? ''

You get to put in the missing comma yourselves :)
 
Our neighbour had signs around his property that stated "No shooting children and pets within". Apparently it was OK to shoot them if they stepped off his property. I used it as a great lesson for our kids on the proper use of punctuation.
 
A Range Chicken is cooked on the kitchen range along with oker, not for grilling outdoors.
 
I was always told a free range meant a chicken that was allowed to run around outside of the pen to eat bugs and green plants and the stray cow paddy
