Military Chicken Guard
« on: March 21, 2021, 02:42:01 PM »
This popped up on my Amazon recommendations, and I couldn't help but crack up about all the "military grade" talk for a door that opens and closes in a chicken coop.  :laugh:

Chicken Guard . . .EXTREME? On a chicken guard?

That last word - "EXTREME" - is a warning that the item is overpriced and probably won't work. I found this out going to gun shows - the more impressive the name, the lower the level of performance you should expect. An item described as "Tactical Extreme Ninja Fire Dragon Special Forces SEAL Gear" is probably useful only for suicide . . . or gifting to someone you really don't like.

We must never forget the debt of gratitude we would owe Nuclear Land Mine Chickens, if they were ever actually deployed.

I was shocked to see that it's made in Britain instead of China.
