Door-to-door chicken salesman

The door-to-door chicken salesman just stopped by. Yes, you read correctly.

Courtney decided to buy $150 worth of chicken out of the back of a truck at 7pm at night. But, you'd think we'd get a good deal.

How many pounds of chicken do you think we'd get for $150?

18.

That's right. 18 pounds of chicken for $150. That's more than $8/lb.

I'm quite sure he marked our curb with the international symbol for "easy money".

[edit: 12/17/07 I realize this might look lewd, but it really IS an old hobo sign for "you'll get what you want".]
