Yes.

I think the later and not the former.
I'm not aware of any provision regarding using one's three-door down
neighbor's chicken while visiting.
And considering how odd the Iranians are I'm not certain about if it is
a pre-decapitated chicken, or not.
But to be certain you'll have to ask the Ayatoya. He is dead. Or you can
read the book... which has a lot more in it than culinary arts.
As to the Sicilians, I think it is an oral culture.
I mean, they don't write these things down, just pass them on from
generation to generation, that is, unless only the chicken users get
sent to the USA.
Joe Lupo... that was his name. He also had a problem on a 100+ window
project of putting the terrace windows in backwards.
You would have to go out on the terrace to open the windows. But that
was OK... it was a HUD project.
It is almost long ago now to be historic... which I suppose means that
you can't turn the windows around for heritage replication reasons.
But the orginination of this thread, as I see it, has to do with counter
measures to crude sexual talk on jobsites... by upping the ante and
being more gross han the gross.
Only Joe got it over on us telling the truth of his experience... and he
was not aware, until he had finished his explanation, that we were
pulling his leg.
I distinctly remember a fondness in his eye as if he were remembering a
long lost love.
