Four-Legged Chicken

Get over here!

"You know, I went fishing up on Warwoman this weekend and saw something I ain't never seen before in my life... I was just driving along mindin' my own business... I guess I was doin' about 40 at the time, and I caught a glimpse of something in the rear view mirror... Next thing I know, I looked up and there was a four-legged chicken passing me!" As everyone chuckled, someone asked, "Are you serious?!" "Yep," Ford replied. "I thought my eyes was playin' tricks on me, so I speeded up a bit to catch up with it, and sure enough, it was a four-legged chicken running 50 miles per hour!" This really got everyone to laughing because they knew it was a "Tall Tale"... As the laughter died down he continued. "Kind of made me mad 'cause he passed me, so I passed him back... Next thing I know, I'm running about 55 and the little rascal passed me again! I wasn't going to stand for that so I just about caught up with him again and was just getting ready to pass when he veered off down this dirt road kickin' up dust to beat the band! So I locked her down and got in behind him, but that was the last I seen of him... I followed the road on down a ways 'till I came up on this old farm house. There was an old man out there splitting some firewood, so I stopped and asked him if he had seen any four-legged chickens running around there." The old man put down his axe and pulled a handkerchief from his overalls to wipe the sweat away as he began to speak, "Yep... That's the way I raise 'em." Ford laughed and asked, "Now... what in the world ever gave you the idea to do something like that?" The farmer replied, "Well, I like legs and my wife likes legs... My son likes legs and my daughter likes legs... So I decided to start raising four-legged chickens so we could all get a leg when we cooked one." Ford replied, "You know... That's one of the smartest things I've ever heard of... How does it taste?" "I don't know... I ain't never caught one..."
