_Eat_ the chicken? Heck no! We…oh wait, did I misunderstand again? Boy, is my face red!

Diamonds may be a girls best friend, but fresh batteries come really close.

Are you absolutely sure you don’t want this chicken? He’s very compliant…er, I mean, _well-trained._

Well, if you want to get rid of the chicken I guess I could take it off your hands. Pluck it, stuff it, and eat it. (ooo that was dirty)

Does that mean we just clean you up and put you in the closet when we’re done?

**Persephone**. Chicken feathers? No, no, my pet. Here we have long fluffy ostrich feathers and pretty peacock feathers for your … enjoyment.

Or is this part of your new Martha Stewart fixation?

[Foghorn Leghorn]

“Fortunately, I keep my feathers numbered for just such an occasion!”

[/Foghorn Leghorn]

Many happy returns **Rob**. With the recent agonies you have had to endure, I will gladly help to celebrate your life and wish you every joy possible.

Now get back to your flirting like a good little stud!
