"I take the chicken butt for myself. I could never understand why my
brothers always fought over that triangular tip--until one day I got the
crispy, juicy fat myself."

I cooked chicken for the family of a friend of mine once, and my friend
later asked, "Why did you serve us the tail? We always throw that away."

I thought that was the height of poultry-consumption silliness until I heard
about people who are paralyzed with fright by the bones in the chicken!
