When I was a kid my grandmother lived in town but she still liked to raise
chickens in her backyard. Many a time I watched my uncles wring the necks
of chickens, she would clean them, and we would have fried chicken for
dinner.

One time my cousin wanted to wring the neck of the chicken and he kept
doing it and doing it but it wouldn't die. He was just swinging it around
by its neck, in a great flurry of feathers, but wasn't actually twisting
the neck to kill it. This went on for several minutes until someone
finally got a small hatchet and chopped the chicken's head off and it, of
course, actually ran around the back yard like a chicken with its head cut
off. At the time, I thought it was the most amazing thing I had ever
seen.


That's a horrible story. Put a warning label on it next time.
