I'VE GOT TO GET ME SOME MORE CHOOKS

                            Well here we were,  me and 200 other blokes  working up in the gold country busy digging this humungus dam , There were a lot of weired fellas amoungst them , there was Stretch about 6ft 4 and as skinny as a telegraph pole a local farmer who was running on hard times so he was moonlighting as a labourer between crops .  And then there was Dave who had this old vintage British Leyland tip- truck who also was a farmer come truckie  Well Dave was the opposite of Stretch , Dave could of doubled for Santa at Christmas he was short and barrel shaped .
                             Anyway one day Dave said in a casual way "I'VE GOT TO GET ME SOME MORE CHOOKS" !"     What the hell for I says youve already got about a zillion, your place looks like a wildlife park youve got so many?  Well he said I always heard people say there was gold around these parts but He thought it was just a bit of a old wives tale untill he thought well its time  the family had a couple of roast chickens for dinner ,And what do you know when I was plucking and gutting them I found several Gold Nuggets in the chicken gullets , That got me going I've searched high and low for that gold patch , not a chance of finding it so I got to get me some more chooks and send them out to get the pay-dirt.
                           I guess we will be having more chicken dinners he quiped .  

PS  several years later I bumped into Dave and he told me that he found that hidden reefer and now he has got his own gold shaft not far from the house , thanks to thoes sacrificial chooks   

True story honest

Oro
        Maybe it is a common thing to happen , any fowl does it  and even the dinosaures did  it . to help digest their food  they pick-up small pebbles and in their gullet helps grind their food , if you ever gut a chicken you will identify this gritty material in their gullet .
        They found in the skeleton of a  plant eating dinosaur small pebbles about palm size in the gullet .  this helped grind the coarse plant material the dinosaur ate  to a digestable condition .   maybe the same thing could happen there ? find a gold bearing rock in the dinosaur if he happened to pick one up .
        My story happened in  1980 and Ive been to this fellas property and seen the gold shaft .

                     I was talking to a local fella today ,and I told him about the chicken gold story .  And he said that when he lived in South Africa there was a fella who used to harvest Ostrich feathers and cut up the birds to sell the meat and he found rough diamonds on occasions in some of the Ostriches .
                   
                     Now I know what KFC meant when they say come to our store to get your Golden Chicken Nuggets !

                                        Youve won me KFC
