...I watch as my girlfriend is eating her roasted chicken.

She stabbed the chicken's main body and is forcibly sawing at it with her large "Soup Spoon" until she separates the tail-end of her chicken from the main body of the chicken.

After dissecting away the "offending chicken tail" of her roasted chicken, she pushes it (with disgust) to the outer-most-reaches of her plate.

"What's wrong, Honey? You want to send the chicken back to the kitchen?" I asked, genuinely concerned.

She looks at me with that "You stupid foreigner, are you really THAT RETARDED?!" expression on her face, and says, "It's the dirty butt part of the chicken."

"Yum! Yum!"

I reached over and popped it in my mouth, chewed, and smacked my lips, saying, "It's delicious!"

The Irony

Source (Base Source)

My girlfriend will heartily - no, voraciously devour with joy, massive amounts of skewered chicken intestines from street vendors with "suspect hygiene and barbecue procedures"; but refuses to eat a thoroughly cooked-to-juicy-perfection dirty chicken butt!

Go Figure?

Respectfully submitted for your pondering,

By JaiChai
