 NB> I bet a lot of them are in NYC, then...  :)

 ML> Eleven.
 
That's ALL...?  Hmmm...  So how come we have at least twice that here...
in an area much less the size...!  ;)

 NB>> ... A fast food place that feeds thousands, grosses millions.

 ML> ... out?

That was one of my thoughts...  ;)

 NB>> Quite true.  :)  Although, with our propensity to use bones and skin

 ML> She thought it peculiar as well, though she has done weirder
 ML> things in her day, such as being the first woman trumpeter in
 ML> the Gene Krupa band.

At least she went along with it though...  Ah, well, weird is in the eye
of the beholder...  ;)  Sometimes it could be seen as trailblazing... ;)

 ML> It was for a while, then Dirty Dave brought up the vexed question

Oh, ok.  Just scored a couple of duck leg quarters... the store doesn't
always carry them, so I tend to grab a couple when they do show up...
