Husband eats 50-year-old chicken
I read the text of this story last week somewhere else, but it wasn’t until I saw the photo that I felt I must share this with you. Click the link above to see it.
It is mildly interesting that you can buy a whole chicken in a can in England. It is slightly more interesting that this couple saved a can of chicken from their wedding day, and only vaguely more interesting still that he kept his vow, so to speak, to eat the chicken on their 50th anniversary. What really tickled me, however, is the photo accompanying the story.
It’s not so much that he looks like he’s about to fall down. It’s not even the fact that he looks like he was just woken from a deep sleep, and came straight from bed, grudgingly, for the photo shoot. It looks like he’s still wearing a robe over his pajamas, even.
No, it’s the look on the wife’s face behind him that cracks me up every time I see it. “You old coot, you’re embarrasing yourself, and me, in front of the whole world.”

You wanna know something even more disturbing? You can buy a whole chicken in a can here in the good ol’ US of A. >

I did not know that. I can’t remember ever seeing that in the canned poultry aisle.
Still, would you give it someone as a wedding present?
