I had cousins that lived on a farm who loved teaching their city slicker cousin all the ins and outs of farm life....

I knew a guy who grew up on a chicken farm. He once told me that while he had no objection to eating chicken now that he was an adult, he nevertheless exhibited one quirk when ordering chicken in a restaurant: when the restaurant offered two pieces of chicken, he insisted on being served two breast, or two thighs, FROM THE SAME SIDE OF THE CHICKEN, e.g., he'd order two LEFT breasts, or two RIGHT thighs.

I found this very curious, so I asked the obvious question: "Why order the same parts from the same side of the chicken?"

He replied: "Because a chicken only has one left thight, or one right breast, so if I order two of the same parts from the same side of the chicken, it requires two chickens, not one. Thus, it assures the maximum number of chickens had to die to serve my meal, and there's nothing in this world I hate more than a live chicken!"

Im-peck-able logic.

It doesn't really ensure a higher number of chicken deaths though, they'll just serve the next customer the remains of both chickens. Probably make him feel much better though and that is more important than the actual number of dead chickens roaming around in restaurants.
