family reunion weekend
conversation, induced by a weekend of fast-food consumption, during 6-hour trip back from Winchester, VA:
me: did you notice at Chick-fil-a, that they have a mascot in the playground that is a chicken?
brian: uh huh.
me: yeah, it's a chicken! can you believe it?!!
brian: uh huh.
me: his name is skippy, or doodle, or something.
brian: uh huh.
me: don't you think that's simply bad taste?
brian: huh?
me: a chicken! at Chick-fil-a! that's like McDonald's having a cow promote their cow-burgers.
brian: oh.
me: and can't you see some twisted parent, saying "Look, Billy, this sandwich is what Speedy the Chicken looks like inside! These are Speedy Nuggets!"
me: that's why McDonald's has a clown and a Hamburgler and a weird purple Grimace monster thing eating cheeseburgers! a cow can't eat a cheeseburger! that's cow cannibalism!
me: Speedy the chicken can't promote chicken sandwiches!
brian: hey.
me: [out of breath] yeah?
brian: KFC makes skinless fried chicken, right?
me: yeah, I think so.
brian: so what do you think they do with the skin from the skinless chicken?
me: uh...
brian: they should fry THAT up and sell buckets of fried skin.
brian: that would sell like hotcakes.
