CHICKEN FOOLS

1979.02

On a whim I stopped in front of a car dealership and asked the person dressed-up as a chicken if he felt silly dressed that way and waving at passing cars, and he replied “Heck no, for the money he’s paid the dealership should feel silly.” So I went inside and asked the owner if he felt silly paying someone to stand outside dressed as a chicken, and he said “Heck no, it’s the passing motorists who should feel silly.” So I asked someone in the showroom looking at cars if he felt silly for stopping at a dealership that used a chicken to get attention, and he said “Heck no, it’s the chicken that should feel silly.” As I walked out the door I felt like defending chickens. After all, to my knowledge they’ve never made fools of themselves by dressing up as humans!
