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

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…)

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…”

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.

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.

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!

He was known to say the slogan on the campaign trail. It’s intrinsically linked with him. Seems like a good one to me …

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?

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”.

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 . .
