My point -- which you seem to have missed completely -- is about being gullible.

It doesn't matter whether "the story" was something you read online, or something that arrived as an email, or something someone told you directly -- when someone makes ridiculous claims, you just ignore them; you don't spend time "wondering" if their claims are true.
Oh sorry to bother you ...oh great one.

I do like the KY fry & Popeye's. I have not had it in years, the system can't function after a meal. I would need a diaper after a bucket.

No bother.

And FYI, there is a difference between "great" and "competent" (but I have my doubts that you'd care ) :


Main Entry: competent
com·pe·tent
Pronunciation:
\ˈkäm-pə-tənt\
Function:
adjective
Etymology:
Middle English, suitable, from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French, from Latin competent-, competens, from present participle of competere
Date:
15th century

1: proper or rightly pertinent
2: having requisite or adequate ability or qualities : fit (a competent teacher) (a competent piece of work)
3: legally qualified or adequate (a competent witness)
4: having the capacity to function or develop in a particular way ; specifically : having the capacity to respond (as by producing an antibody) to an antigenic determinant (immunologically competent cells)



Main Entry: great
\grāt, Southern also gre(ə)t\
Function:
adjective
Etymology:
Middle English grete, from Old English grēat; akin to Old High German grōz large
Date:
before 12th century

1 a: notably large in size : huge b: of a kind characterized by relative largeness —used in plant and animal names c: elaborate , ample (great detail)
2 a: large in number or measure : numerous (great multitudes) b: predominant (the great majority)
3: remarkable in magnitude, degree, or effectiveness (great bloodshed)
4: full of emotion (great with anger)
5 a: eminent , distinguished (a great poet) b: chief or preeminent over others —often used in titles (Lord Great Chamberlain) c: aristocratic , grand (great ladies)
6: long continued (a great while)
7: principal , main (a reception in the great hall)
8: more remote in a family relationship by a single generation than a specified relative (great-grandfather)
9: markedly superior in character or quality ; especially : noble (great of soul)
10 a: remarkably skilled (great at tennis) b: marked by enthusiasm : keen (great on science fiction)
11—used as a generalized term of approval (had a great time)(it was just great>

i thought the move to "kfc" was to put less emphasis on "fried" so as to sound healthier.

About 2 years I did check out this and went to the KFC site.
At the time I remember reading the word "poultry product" on their site.

Why "poultry" ???

Someone once told me McDonald's "secret sauce" is more or less Thousand Islands dressing with bits of pickle. So what's The Colonel's 11 secret herbs and spices?

And how long has The Colonel had this swept back John Edwards-type of hairstyle?



Makes me think old man Sanders is sort of cool, though he is sort of dead...
