Thrown over

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook Send Gmail

So, last night I’m slaving over a hot stove after a long day lobstering and fishing.  Kevin opens the wine, and pours two glasses.  I think he’s going to sit down and talk to me as I cook, but he doesn’t.  Instead, he goes outside so he can share his glass of wine with a chicken.

A chicken!  He’s sharing his wine with a chicken!  What has life come to around here?

This isn't how I'm used to combining chicken and wine

    Do you remember writing “Hell will freeze over before I’m jealous of a chicken”? Well, I suspect Hell is getting a touch chilly at the moment! :-) :-) :-)

    Thanks, all, for the pithy comments. Although it’s a great source of satisfaction to have such a clever, creative readership, I’m going to respectfully point out that none of you has permission to be funnier than me on my own blog. (Madcat, I can’t believe you remember that, but I assure you it’s still quite warm here!)

    It was merely a Pavlovian response, you see a girl at the bar you just ask “Can I buy you a drink?”

    If Kevin were slaving over the stove, wouldn’t you go out and knock back a few with the chickens?
