There once was a man from Nantucket  
Who bought a small chicken to pluck it,  
When a thread that he read  
Put a thought in his head:  
“Why eat this bird when I can … keep it and sell the eggs, thus making back the initial purchase price of the chicken?”

And now,  
(it’s…)

An Impromtu Fictional Vignette  
By Kn\*ckers.

```
  "Cashews." she said. "I like cashews."
  I stared back at her, not fully comprehending. Not slightly comprehending, actually. In fact, it took me a moment to realize she had said "cashews." With her mouth full of potato salad, it sounded like "cat shoes."
 "Why?" I responded, finally. It seemed like the thing to say.
 "Why do I like them, or why do I mention it?" 
 "Both." Honestly, I didn't care to have either question answered. I wanted to get away from her, away from the damn mosquitoes, and ants, and this stupid woman. But I was trapped. Trapped by love, by obligation, and by the stupid electric dog collar she makes me wear (I should proabably note here that I'm a human, not a dog. People sometimes fail to realize that when I mention the collar).
 "Mm." She considered. "I like them because they're tasty, I mention it because I was thinking that potatoes are kind of caloric, and so are nuts, and that reminded me of cashews."
 What a moron. Why I fell in love with her, I'll never know. Why I married her is yet even more difficult a question, and why I agreed to come along to her cousin Susan's birthday party-slash-picnic is perhaps the most troubling of all.
 Susan came over then, thankfully interrupting our conversation. "Hiya, Jackie," she said. Squinting and curling her lip at me, she added a perfunctory, "Hullo, Jim," under her breath.

```

Yeah, so _I’m_ the worthless slug, here. Whatever. I cracked open another beer and farted.  
Jackie smiled brilliantly, showing off a row of perfect teeth, between soft, full lips. Her smile reminded me of the only thing I actually liked about her - her ass. I don’t know why the two are linked in my mind, but I think it’s something to do with my relationship with my mother.  
No, it’s not perverted, asshole - I’m ADOPTED. Bet you feel guilty, now.  
“It’s a beautiful day for the party, Sue! So bright, and sunny! Looks like you were born just the right time of year!”  
I thought it was too bad Susan had been born at all, but I didn’t mention it. I wondered if Jackie was going to bring up cashews again.  
“Yeah, I was lucky. Not silly like you, being born in December!” Susan elbowed my wife playfully, and I bit my tongue to keep from calling her a dumbass and reminding her that when people are born isn’t really their own doing. I think Susan doesn’t know where babies come from, but damned if I’m going to be the one to tell her about the birds and the bees. I tried that with a similarly ignorant woman at work and got slapped with a harrassment suit. No one can say I don’t learn from my mistakes!  
Then there was a huge earthquake, and we all fell in to a chasm that opened up in the earth’s crust, where we were burned to death in a great sea of magma. Which meant I never had to go to another one of Susan’s stupid picnics. Thank God.

The End
