Chicken Wheels?

I was in a bar with some friends.


The new owner had just done an expensive and poncey restyling into an 'upscale' restaurant, and they had refused to confirm to me over the phone whether they still did bar food like the previous owner. "Like, chicken wings or potato skins?" I asked, to no avail.





So anyway, when we get there, their trendy new menu is mini servings of popcorn shrimp, and 'chicken wheels'. The place was nearly empty, and the barmaid was bored out of her mind, so I decided to play around with her a little.





"What are chicken wheels?" I asked.


The barmaid said "They're flat round pieces of chicken, fried in batter."


"But they don't have spokes?"


"What?"


"Hollow parts?"


"No"


"I hate to be pedantic, but then they're chicken _discs_, not wheels."


"Well that's because our head chef isn't an engineer," said the barmaid.





Who's an engineer? How could she tell?


And if people are this imprecise, don't run to us when your chicken chariots don't work right.

Chicken Wheels?
FYI not all wheels have spokes, some are just "discs" with an axis run through the center.
Reply:That's one hell of a story there, Sport.
Reply:I always wondered why Engineers have such a hard time getting good dates.
Reply:Perhaps it was a misprint. Perhaps it was supposed to say "Chicken castors" (castors have no spokes), but the ink got smudged, and the printer wasn't sure if castor was spelled "castor" or "caster", so he decided to just go with "wheels"...
