Aren't I punny?

Every so often, you run across a news story that permits some silliness and cleverness.

Such is the case when you're writing a story about someone challenging a chicken citation in a small town.

To save yourself the trouble of looking, the following puns were abused:
- fowl mood
- playing chicken
- fine feathered friends
- felt plucky
- hen-pecked
- place to roost
- hatched a theory
- crack open their arguments
- egg on their faces

It might not be the most pun-ridden writing I've ever done. I still attribute that to another story about a girls basketball team in Bluffton that arranged ducks in the coach's yard the night before games. But it's close, and it's gotten some chuckles in my neighborhood.
