Must Have Been The Funny Farm
(I work in a farm supply store. In addition to selling the usual stuff like equipment, animal feed, and seed, it also sells chickens and chicks.)
Customer: “Where are your nugget chickens?”
Me: “…Pardon?”
Customer: “Your NUGGET chickens!”
Me: “I’m afraid I’m not understanding what you are looking for. Are you wanting to purchase chicks, or perhaps full-grown chickens?”
Customer: “No, no, no! You know, the chickens that lay nuggets!”
Me: *puzzled expression*
Customer: “CHICKEN NUGGET CHICKENS, for crying out loud! I promised my son I’d get him one! He loves chicken nuggets!”
Me: “Ma’am, chicken nuggets are not laid by chickens. Chickens lay eggs. Nuggets are small pieces of chicken that have been breaded and baked or fried.”
Customer: “I’ll have you know, Missy, I grew up on a farm and I know what I’m talking about! Never mind, I’ll just try the store in the next town. You’re worthless!”
