"You come back, one year!"
Posted on 08/24/2010 10:12:17 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
A man in Colorado claims he was given the boot -- and a trespassing notice that bans him from the property for one year -- from his local Safeway. But it wasn't over shoplifting or anything like that; he says it was all because of a misunderstanding about his poultry order.
According to the 61-year-old shopper, he recently stopped into the Safeway to purchase some chicken breasts from the deli counter. And when the woman behind the counter asked which ones he preferred, he says he pointed out his selection and said, "I like the large ones."
It's unclear whether or not he had intended on the double entendre, but the man claims the female employee "chuckled" at his statement.
But thinks weren't quite as funny for him the next week. When he approached the deli counter, he saw the woman who had previously served him walk away from the counter, leaving a different female employee to take his order.
He says that this second woman was so rude to him that he felt compelled to complain to the store manager. And that's when he got the earful, he says:
She said, 'The last time you were here, you giggled about this woman's large breasts.' And I said, 'Oh, baloney.' And then she opened up her flip phone and called the police, and I listened to her make up this whole story about me cussing and threatening her.
As he exited the store, the man was stopped by a police officer who issued him a trespassing notice, effectively forbidding him from entering the Safeway for one year.

I’d take my shopping to Hooters.
Isn't that where "The Blob" (1958) was filmed?
When his year is up, he needs to go in and ask her where they keep the hogjawed skank fish.

Should’ve ordered the bearded clams....that’s right, I said it!
Or, the white meat special!
Give me a break. It’s perfectly acceptable for bumper stickers which say “Save the ta tas” but jokes about chicken breasts?
Show me the line not to cross....it is very blurry.
>> instead of “lightening up” whats wrong with civility and politeness and consideration for other human beings instead of saying things that you know are going to be embarrassing.
Tastelessness is not a crime, which is why she needs to lighten up. The guy didn’t attack her, or even make a pass at her ... he made a chicken breast joke.
>> what kind of men do we have in this country anymore?
More and more often, girly men that find chicken breast jokes off-putting. If that’s what you want from a guy ... good luck.
It was a joke better left to a locker room (which remain the same as locker rooms in the time of Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle ... bawdy) — but men have been just like this since the beginning of time.
>> honestly, do you want these kind of people talking to your 17 yro old sweet dtr?....
My daughter is five. So, I’m going to go with “no”. When she’s grown ... she’ll live.
I’ve made chicken breast jokes in front of my wife (who is, incidentially, my father-in-law’s daughter). She laughs at them. She’s a grown woman. We have two kids ... they were not virgin births.
This busty chicken-breast peddler is also a grown woman ... she’ll live.
>> My father was and my brothers are truely manly men, and I can never imagine any of them saying such stupid and silly remarks....
Perhaps not out loud. Perhaps out loud, but not in front of you. Newsflash — your father and brothers like(d) breasts, naked women, and bawdy humor — just like every other “manly man”. Just because we don’t say it in front of our daughter or sister doesn’t mean we don’t think it ... or say it in other circumstances.
The guy was a bit tasteless to tell a bawdy joke in front of a strange woman — and the woman overreacted severely. She is more in the wrong than he.

Haha. Churchill was a badass.
My parents have told me this story (I don’t remember it). When I was about 6, my parents took me to a fried chicken joint. The waitress asked what I wanted, and, not knowing how it sounded, I said, “I am a leg-man!”. The waitress apparently had to leave the table she was laughing so hard.
My parents were thankful that I was not a white-meat man at the time ... or we might have had to get another waitress.

When my son was small, 5, he and his best friend were really into the first Toy Story. My son had a Buzz Lightyear doll and we went over to their house to play. As soon as we walked in, his friend excitedly said, “I’ll play with your Buzz and you can play with my Woody!”
His mom and I giggled. :)
He should have ordered the Hillary Special.
Small breasts, fat thighs and a left wing.
Try having a urinary catheter removed by a FEMALE nurse and wanting to do anything sexual for the next week!
Been through that . It sure as hell ain’t funtime.

Blurry? Blurry? It’s one of those damn librul non-existant lines. You know, the line only libruls can see.

Okay, fair enough. :-)
I work in the same building as the headquarters of the Susan G. Komen Foundation in Dallas. They actually has shirts ready to go that said,
“If you are going to look at ‘em, at least you can donate a dollar to help save ‘em.”
Some bigwig cancelled the idea at the last moment.
