Sometimes when he post I just say Hmmmm.  Sometimes I just laugh but this time somebody needs to explain castrating chickens to me.

Hell, I've got time.  What happened was you were attaching the 
'castration' thing to the 'chicken' because you had chicken on your 
mind. You just as easily (and, perhaps, more accurately) could have 
attached it to the 'every kid' thing. Then, you'd be thinking that I, as 
a kid, was castrated...or, that I think that every kid who experiences 
working on a farm should be. Neither, really, is the case. And, the 
castration thing I was talking about was on the cattle.  I'd safely take 
it a step further and say that there aren't too many castration 
situations I can picture myself being fond of.  Now...why the heck am I 
sitting here with my legs crost??
