“Don’t take the ‘Express Lane’,” Paul warned. “Last time chickens slowed us down.”
Tim frowned. “Darn slowpokes! Afraid to drive fast, should stay out.”
“Na, I’m talking real chickens,” Paul continued. “Engine trouble. Took a while to get going.”
“What?”
“We was lucky. Truck behind had new barbecues. Behind him, delivery van with bbq sauce.”
Tim listened, keenly interested.
“Get this, they set up on the roadside. Best supper ever.”
“You lucky no cops showed up.”
“Two did. Said ‘twas illegal what we’s doin’.”
“You’s arrested?”
“Nope. After two rounds of chicken, they thanked us. Took off on their bikes.”
