I knew there had to be a laugh some where.



Selling Out.

I was seated at a bar in Pahrump Nevada when this farming feller came in,
Said feller’s I’m new but if you’d oblige I’ve got a bit of money to spend,

I’m kinda partial to Vegas and I wanna buy a place hereabouts.
The local Chamber of commerce gave me this bunch of Sale hand outs,

One in particular got my interest, sounds like they’re selling for cheap,
I asked about an appointment, the lady said , you some kind of a creep?

That place is just about sold, There’s nothing left to buy,
You’d do better giving the local businesses a try ,

Well I told her about the advertisements, the many that’ I’d read,
And I really couldn’t get over everything that it said,

A local poultry Ranch for sale with it’s own air port,
Man I’ve gotta grab that, I fly a plane for Sport,

Then I told her about the sales they claimed, Had to be a lotta fun,
There was a special buy on Mondays and on Friday two for one,

There was a big discount on weekends,
Man ,I tried to call my friends,

I know they’d all be buying if I could hold it with a down,
Baby chickens were an expensive item anywhere around,

Fellers you’ve gotta help me out, I know many breeds of chickens trained for doing tricks,
But I’ve never ever heard of what this lady said were brothel chicks,

I argued but that lady was mad and said I should go back home,
Folks like me are dangerous and shouldn’t’ be out alone.

On February 8, 2006, the Chicken Ranch Brothel in Pahrump Nevada accepted a purchase offer for $5.2 million.

I heard about that ranch. Never been there, personally.
That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
Great laughs.

A bargain at all cost, but wait till those chickens come home to roost!

Around these parts we had a flamboyant Jewish haberdasher TV reporter by the name of Marvin Zindler. Had to go way out of town, halfway to Austin to find a little country brothel, and then, confront the sheriff for not doing anything about it.

Marvin made his fame destroying the game of the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. On to Broadway and the movies. Don't think it got to Vegas, though.

We expect nothing less than humorous humor from you. Excellent.
