Very fun. As a food historian, however, I can't resist noting that "cute" has nothing to do with why animals change names when they hit the plate. It's because of the Norman Conquests. The French-speaking Normans conquered England and became the rulers -- so animals, which were raised by the conquered people, had Anglo-Saxon names, while they names became French when they moved to the banqueting halls. Hence, Anglo-Saxon cow, sheep, pig, and French boeuf, mouton, porc. As for venison, it comes from a Latin word that means "to hunt," and in the Middle Ages it could refer to a wild boar as much as to a deer. So very funny bit for a comic, but also kind of fun for a historian or language enthusiast.
Once upon a time, a family passed a field of cows while driving down the road, and the boy told the teen girl, “look, it’s a field of you.” And she whined and protested. And the Mom said, “well, you are what you eat...” “I don’t eat cows!!” “You love steak...” “You told me that was beef!!” (This is a true story. 😄)
Dang Johnnie, you look fantastic - love you, and so glad Tim Hawkins 'introduced' me to you and your comedy!
Thanks for watching!!
Clean comedy may not be as enjoyable as the usual insult & trash talk variety but is definitely more pleasant & relaxing !
