First meal free! Hard to beat.
Of course it would be hard to cook the chicken, since there doesn’t seem to be a kitchen.
Reminds me of something I heard at the McDonald’s I used to work at: a customer wanted a McChicken, so she said (she was Italian): “one McKitchen please.” Her friends were very quick to translate to her what she just said.
you could cook it the ice lab in the bathroom left by the previous owner
Of course, I once worked in an office that had literally been coverted from a chicken coop. Being tall, I found the ceilings to be uncomfortably low. So if the chicken is living there comfortably, I’d think twice about renting…
Reminds me of Girl, Interrupted.
You’re just jealous cuz your father isn’t hooking you up with your very own apartment with an eat-in chicken.
Halls come in handy when moving about from room to room.
I lived in a couple of apartments that actually didn’t have any. If you have to go through a room to get to another room, you gain some appreciation for halls.
I couldn’t live in an apartment with no chicken
Also for decking with boughs of holly at Christmas.
Not SO bad without halls. Last Christmas I decked your mom instead.
And she really appreciated it. She loves to play cards!
and i bet it comes off when she loses.
A home isn’t a home without a chicken.
Full deposit returned if chicken still in same condition as at time of signing agreement..
Oh yes, the chicken clause.
Don’t use air freshener in the apartment. The landlord will expect a fowl odour.
Incoming dreadful pun – duck!
I appreciate your poultry contribution.
And your audience has flown the coop.
I used to have a coupe that could really fly!
It must have been in eggcellent condition.
only to be sold to chicks
Ah, but how would they see if it was still the SAME chicken? *evil laugh*
I bet the apartment tastes like a Lexus.
indeed
Stop saying that, Teal’c, it’s starting to get on my nerves.
a flat chicken ? WTF
Haven’t you had a grilled chicken sandwich from any fast-food franchise? Flat chicken (in both shape and taste) is very easy to come by!
That’s why they get the chickens to cross the road.
The rates you’re charging are pretty good but the place down the street is throwing in a chicken. What?! No chicken? Well, if you’re not willing to match their offer then you just lost MY business. The chicken is a real deal breaker.
But I want lamb kebab instead.
Okay, but we’ll have to increase the security deposit.
The chicken is fine, and I will put it in the pot. But what I really want to know is do I also get the car in the garage? (Preferably a Lexus!)
Is the chicken gas or electric?
Nuclear!
I want a flat with chicken!
Is Salmiya anything like Salmonella? That’s why the chicken ain’t cooked, since there’s no kitchen hence no fridge. Don’t want chicken parts laying about in the raw.
Salmiya is in Iraq
I’m sure Salmonella is in Iraq, too.
There’s a Salmiya in Kuwait as well
I was thinking more along the lines of Kuwait I do not think that in Iraq they would need to appeal to Americans for a flat rental since contractors live on base in Iraq unlike Kuwait. plus 9985-6774 is a Kuwait number
Ah, folks, “chicken” is also a word used by adult males that like young boys…
Eat moar chikin?
What, are they trying to say that you’ll at least get fresh eggs (or emergency food)? I wonder what that says about the flat…
at least i have chicken!
Damn you! I wanted to say that! >:(
Anyone getting the title? This non-American sure does.
I’m guessing you have to bring your own pot for the chicken…
and yes, I do get the reference. Although I really liked the “go fat chicken fat go!” song they played in gym class…
See my post above at 2:22.
This non-American sure doesn’t…
Former President Herbert Hoover made a promise during the Great Depression that there would be “a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot”.
Hmmm, I wonder if this could be the origin of my brother’s odd belief that it’s bad luck to give someone a teapot as a gift unless you put a rubber chicken in it?
No, it was Franklin Delano Roosevelt that promised a chicken in every pot. Hoover had the misfortune to have been elected a year before the crash, and though he messed with banks and increased government handouts, he’s declared by historians as the “do-nothing defender of the free market president.” Meanwhile, FDR got elected promising to balance the budget while providing a chicken in every pot and started the trend of massive budget deficits.
Sorry, but it is a simple historical fact that “A chicken in every pot, a car in every garage” was a Republican campaign slogan in 1928. And while it is true that Roosevelt ran some massive deficits (there was a little thing called WWII going on at the time, which we won thanks to the massive spending), in the postwar era the federal government returned to balanced budgets. The modern trend of massive deficits really started with LBJ.
“a chicken in every pot”
The Great Gonzo would be here in a flash.
I want a back yard chicken: fresh eggs. no weeds, bugs, or rodents will survive them. They are a little feathered T. Rex.
hehe people do keep them as pets ^_^
The downside, of course, is that chicken manure is amazingly malodorous. Good fertilizer, but it sure stinks! Makes pork pulling a wind seem tame…
Haha like Girl, Interrupted. “He bought me my own apartent. One bedroom, two baths, eat-in chicken”
The chicken/kitchen mixup was actually quite common among my students when I was teaching English in China.
I am sad to say I don’t get the Hoover reference, though. Someone care to explain?
When Herbert Hoover ran for President of the US in 1928, the Republican Party ran ads saying that if Hoover won, Americans would get “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” (Chicken was more of a luxury then, I guess.)
Now, years later, the quote is attributed to Hoover himself.
Those with a sense of history will note that Hoover won, and less than a year later, the stock market crashed and the world, led by the US, entered the Great Depression (oops!) Hoover was not re-elected in 1932.
He was known to say the slogan on the campaign trail. It’s intrinsically linked with him. Seems like a good one to me …
But to hear my parents tell it, at least, not only didn’t they get the chicken and the car, but they lost the pot and the garage!
kinda like hitler, except hitler actually saved from economic collapse
It took me a while to figure out the Hoover reference too. I finally remembered that the phrase, “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage” was attributed to US President Herbert Hoover, yet most people don’t know that he didn’t actually say this. It was a 1928 campaign slogan for the Republican Party. I think this dates the captioner!
Sorry to be redundant. I was slow typing this and MGH beat me to the answer.
“I think this dates the captioner!”?
No, it’s more likely he has broad general knowledge. I was born more than 20 years after Hoover’s presidency, never been to the USA, but I recognised the caption.
I would hope a human is dating the captioner , not a web page!
♫ Chicky don’t lose that number… ♪
Work on discretion, aplomb, tone, and wit. A GPS looks around over there and says “Why should I know?”
This reminds me of when Brak kidnapped Mr. Bawkbagawk and tried to pass him off as a relative at the dinner table….
*sarcasm ON*
Are you referring to the fµckhead who actually knows how to nest comments and is not a troll?
*sarcasm OFF*
It ate my faux html comments. reformatting.

LOL – I know what this is . . This is in Kuwait City – at al Salmiya – There is a really good chicken restaurant there, and this place must be either in the building which has the restaurant downstairs, or right nearby. There’s a Burger King and a Pizza Hut there as well . . I lived waterfront right at Salmiya for a bit while working in Kuwait . .
*smartass attitude on*
In fact, Salmiya was in Iraq for a little while. Then, along came the coalition forces….
*smartass attitude switch stuck in “on” position*
I my circles…chicken means Sex
in a sentence: “I want chicken tonight”
or …honey I have a headache no chicken tonight
or “lets go out for chicken”
One more way to say “nope”.
There are already too many ways!!!
And we invent new ones all the time. Then go to conferences to swap ideas.
I just KNEW you were all in it together! That’s why I’m paranoid, because you’re all out to get me.
If chicken means sex in your circles, I’d be inclined to avoid your circles! “Let’s have sex tonight.” “You got the chicken?” “No, I thought YOU were bringing the chicken tonight!” “Not tonight. The chicken has a headache…”
Well, know we know what came 1st.
… or now we know…
I know what I know. I’ll sing what I said. We come and we go. It’s a thing that I keep in the back of my head.
Circle’s got to be a bit creepy. Imagine the conversations-
“Sorry, honey, the chicken won’t thaw tonight”- impotence, or, excuse me pharmaceutical companies, “erectile dysfunction”
“Damn my woman won’t come out of the deep freeze to cluck”- she’s frigid
“He goes peckin’ round every coop”- promiscuity
“Sorry, dear, I gots the avian flu and need to be quarantined”- VD
“He crows from sun-up to sun-down” – brags too much about his prowess “…and nobody wakes up”- no one believes his bragging
“He had his gizzard removed”- post-op transsexual (and you gotta be careful if you ever say the phrase “pull it” around anyone in your circle…)
White meat or dark meat?
I wish -I- got a free chicken with my new apartment! Not fair!
I’d rather get a free apartment with my chicken!
That sign should have been in the movie Girl Interrupted.
this is a black man’s greatest fantasy!
I thought Hoover was a vacuum cleaner………
Hey they have chicken! We need to call now and see if they have any flats left! Always wanted my own flat that came with chicken.
So glad they included the chicken!
Thank You, General Sanders
.
So THATs what happened to the chicken in the pot HOOVER ( I think it was him) promised…
2 things, 1 i need a kitchen 2, thanks for the chicken!
i will name him….Monty
