Overheard at a coffee shop.
“Have you tried that new bar-b-que joint out on Harris?”
“Yeah. Didn’t like it. The meat tasted funny.”
“Yeah, I thought so too. Me and the wife went out there last night. She’d heard somewhere that the meat was ‘humanely butchered’, whatever that means.”
“The night we went, the guy, owner I think, was out front talking to customers. Think I overheard him say the same thing, only that he’s the one who does it.”
“What do you mean?”
“He apparently owns a farm off route 35, where he raises the cows himself, does all the butchering right there on the farm. He opened the restaurant just for kicks. Said he wanted to give corporate ‘murica the finger, or some such nonsense.”
“Hmmm. Well, I doubt he’ll be in business long enough for that to happen. That meat was off. If that’s what fresh, ‘humanely butchered’ meat tastes like. I’ll pass.”
“Me too. Hey, did’ja hear the news where another couple went missing from that campsite t’other side of 35?”
