My mother and her mother, handling the farm while my grandpa was serving in WWII, HAD to kill this ole rooster they had amongst the chickens they hadn't had to kill yet.

The story is something like a Lucy and Ethyl on an "I Love Lucy" episode... It was almost a comedy, but neither one of them had every prepared themselves.

I'll bet you were far more knowledgeable AND human in doing it.
