"When a poor man eats a chicken,

[elshiva]

one of them is sick."--Jewish Proverb.

SIGH. :(

1. I thought you were gonna say

there's nothing left but bones. Cause other people leave edible stuff behind.

What does that proverb mean, exactly?

2. I would guess

that a poor man would not indulge in eating a chicken unless he was sick enough to need to eat the chicken, or the chicken was too sick to survive anyway.

But I'm terrible at proverbs.

[elshiva]

4. It means a poor man only gets to eat a chicken if

he gets sick enough to get the attention of a charity or he gets the rejected food (a sick chicken).

10. Aha!

3. When a poor man eats a chicken...

Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If chick's bad he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he put her down.

:evilgrin:

5. You are hilarious.

9. From "Fiddler on the roof"

Leibesh: Is there a proper blessing for the czar?
Rabbi: A blessing for the czar? Of course. May God bless and keep the czar... far away from us.
Tevye: As the good book says, when a poor man eats a chicken, one of them is sick.
Mendel: Where does the book say that?
Tevye: Well, it doesn't say that exactly, but somewhere there is something about a chicken.


Hmm, interesting quote.
