OK first get yourself a 540 mm self propelled mortar, and a chicken.

Insert the chicken, followed by the shell and powder charge. Point in in the general direction of the nearest jhidi, or that guy down the block that never cuts his grass. Then pull the lanyard. The chicken will never know what hit it

Love to have one for a carry piece, but back to chickens.

I have an interesting story about chickin Killing. Once upon a time when I was about 12, I was helping my granny kill chickens. She used the neck wringing method where the bird is dropped on the ground and flops around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.
We had a lady working with us, and before my next chicken, she asked me why I let my chicken flop around like that? I replied they always do. She said hers didn’t. and she drew a circle on the ground and made a cross in it. After I did the wring thing, I placed it in the circle and sure enough it didn’t flop, She had a reputation of being a witch, and maybe she was.

My Grand father was a butcher and he killed them by tying them by the feet to a fence and sticking the brain with his Pocket knife nd slitting the throat. while the bird quivered he stripped the feathers dry with no scalding. We got paid a dime a bird to pick the ones we killed and scalded. We then parboiled them and put them in cans and pressure cooked them. This was before freezers.

So much for my chicken killing experience. Now I get them from wal-mart;
