INDIANA, Pa. (AP) -- Mary Lute just thought she was driving to work.
Little did she know her pet rooster was underneath her car during the 45-minute ride July 27. When she stopped at a convenience store, a fellow customer said there was a chicken loose in the parking lot.
Lute thought it was hers, but wasn't quite sure. Since roosters don't fly and tend to stay close to home, she said she didn't think he belonged to her.
So off she went to the nursing home where she works. Once there, Lute began talking to the husband of a patient who said he picked up the rooster from the store. So Lute went to the van to take a look.
"I said, 'Oh, my God, it is my rooster,'" Lute told the Indiana Gazette.

There hasn't been this kind of excitement in Indiana since Jimmy Stewart struck up a conversation with Harvey.

I spent a week at IUP one day in the 70's.
Pass the barbecue sauce, please!!
"Ma'am, is that your chicken?"
Ping!
I have no idea why this tickles me so much, but it do.
It was only 2 miles, but it freaked me out.
what kind of woman doesn't recognize her very own rooster. Her hubby better stick close or she will misplace him.
My mom's cat once crawled up into the engine compartment of her diesel Mercedes... and believe it or not, she actually heard the cat screaming over the sound of the motor. She pulled over, cut the engine, and the cat got a very happy ending.
It's a 'Burgh

LOL...I've had one of mine stowaway in the horse trailer. Got to a trail ride one time, opened up the tack room and there she sat on my saddle.

LOL!!!!
Hysterical!
No, its her pet cock.
Ask Bacon here about his Numba Five Cat Piston.
Okay, that's just damn funny.
That has to be some sort of record. Mine only lasted twenty minutes, and he was county champ.
What is it with roosters?
My husband works for a company that sequences parts to GM. A rooster hitched a ride to my husband's plant on someone's pickup. He ran around the parking lot for a while, then got on the axle on one of the trailers. He got to the General Motors plant and ran around there for a while, then came back. He made about 6 trips to GM. They finally caught it and gave it a ride home. I never laughed so hard!
I bet her husband has just a few more distinguishing characteristics than a chicken.
Which one of these roosters is yours?
Reminds me of the outfit that decided to genetically engineer a four legged chicken since drumsticks were peoples favorite part.
The director of the lab was asked by a reporter how it was going. The director responded that "It is going fine, we seem to have worked out all the problems. We've got several hundred in that building over there".
The reporter then asked about the taste of the chicken. The director responded: "Well we're not really sure about that. Nobody has been able to catch one yet".
This is unreal! I say the same thing all the time!!
Definitely SAF worthy. Double entendres encouraged!
