Probably a good idea if any roosters are walking around.

Yes, I heard of that from the folks who sell eggs at the farmers' markets. I grew up around many chickens, but I never heard Grandpa say that, and I don't recall any roosters around.

This morning I stopped at a local grocer for green onions where I got mesmerized by the only other person in the produce section. He was decapitating yams. That is, he was breaking off both ends before putting the remaining midsection in a plastic bag. I watched him do this to four yams. After he left I went over to see the end pieces but they weren't there, so they either went into the bag or into his pocket (I am guessing the latter). But what on earth....?

Ooh, ooh, I know this one: he only has a small pan!

Does anybody but me get that one?
