A sign in the window of a local grocery store: chicken hard, 3 for 1$. Chicken hard? Being a vegetarian I am not intimate with the descriptions associated with meat but chicken hard? Do they not mean the bones, that being the hardest part of anyone's body?
I can see Madam squeezing her way past the familypacks of cumin and greasy pickle to the butcher in the back. "But how hard is the chicken?" she asks, always wary of a scam. The butcher takes the chicken by the feet, plucked and dead and thwacks it against the counter a few times. Bang bang bang. "Hard."
Maybe they meant 'hearts'? But aren't chicken hearts rather small? I know they are not known for their brains, but are chickens known for their hearts? He was such a kind rooster, so loving to his friends, forgiving of his enemies.
I could go on but I don't think you want me to.
