Tee of the Week – Choking Hazard
Back in the 1990s my brother bought me a t-shirt from Stroud’s Restaurant in Kansas City which read in large letters, “We choke our own chickens!” I thought it was pretty funny until some woman in the airport took offense, after which I only wore it on special occasions.
Sadly, that shirt has been lost to the ravages of time, but if you want something similar (and potentially cooler) you can get the one seen above from Skinner Baits. Billy Skinner is better known for his soft swimbaits like the Chicken Gizzard, but his merch game is on point.
He even has a branded Chapstick and “Chicken Grease” bait adhesive. Just don’t use the latter if indeed you’re choking your own chicken. The results could be catastrophic.
