Race with a Three-Leg Chicken: During the depression and reconstruction, the Administration of FDR had sent out different Federal Officials to get an idea how things were going and if...

During the depression and reconstruction, the Administration of FDR had sent out different Federal Officials to get an idea how things were going and if they were beginning to improve.

Even the Secretary of Agriculture and his driver were out scouting the farms in a remote section of Louisiana. They were on a back country road and on occasion would stop and interview a farmer on his crops, his farm animals and in general his farm was doing and his general welfare.

As they were driving along a stretch of back woods they notice a chicken up ahead. As they approached, the chicken sped up, the driver having nothing else to amuse him, also sped up just to show this chicken who really had the speed. But as the official’s car increased speed, so did the chicken. In fact, the official’s driver could not catch the chicken.

Directly, the chicken made a quick left turn and entered the driveway of a farmhouse that sat back form the main road several hundred yards. The driver at the instructions of the commissioner, pulled in and stopped at the front of this farm house. They were immediately met by the farmer and his wife. They were greeted and invited to come up on the porch and sit for a while. The conversation covered the weather, and such, but finally the Commissioner got around to asking about the chicken.

He said, “Mr. Smith, we were driving down the road back about a mile or so, and this chicken we came across ran along side the car, and in fact outran us all the way to your farm and he turned into your drive, so we assume it belonged to you. Can you tell me about that unusual bird?

Mr. Smith said, “Yes, we did breed that chicken and some others. You see, My son, my wife and I all like fried chicken and especially the leg. Since our chickens all had only two legs, we decided to try and breed a bird with three legs so we would all have one. To which, the Commissioner said that’s terrific, how do they taste? To which time. Smith said, “We don’t know, we haven’t been able to catch one!” Just Sayin…RJS

My favorite Genie joke goes like this:

A guy walkes into a cafe and along with him is an Ostrich. Both are seated and the guy looks at the menu and orders a burger, fries and a coke. The waitress not knowing what else to do looks at he Ostrich, how knods to indicate she will take the same.

When the guy finishes and stand up, he reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out the exact amout of the check, $11.33.

A few days later they are back on Friday. Trhe guy orders a Sirloin steak, Baked Potato and coffee. The orstrich orders the same.
He pays the same way, having pulled out the precise amount of 29.13.

Now waitress cannot help but ask, what is the deal?

So the guy said, well I might as well explain, I was out in the field, came acress this old lamp. It was dirtry and crusty, and I rubbed all the mess off and this Genie appeared, and said, I am in a really big hurry, give me your three wishes quick.

The guy said I want to always have the precise change in my pocket not matter what i wish to buy? Granted.

I want a chick with big hips and legs and never gives me any backtalk, alwauys agrees with everthing I say or do. So Here we are! Just Sayin...RJS
