W: Welcome to Rich’s, May I take your order?
C: I’m a vegetarian and I watch what I eat. Are your
chickens free-range?
W: Free range, ma’am? Do you mean do they run around
unfenced?
C: No, it means they are not caged, they run around in a
fenced enclosure, I am sure.
W: You mean before they are killed and plucked?
C: Of course, I know they are killed! Are you being
impertinent?
W: No, ma’am, I just never heard of the term. But I can ask.
C: Well if you don’t know, then they probably aren’t.
W: Well then, we do serve venison which is harvested by
local hunters.
C: Oh No! That would not do at all; I don’t eat animals!
W: What do you call chickens, ma’am?
