A Salute to the Colonel!
Colonel Harland D. Sanders
Kentucky Fried Chicken Headquarters
In Kentucky USA
Dear Colonel Sanders,
Thank you for your delicious chicken. I was in one of your Kentucky Fried Chicken stores last week and saw your picture. It’s the one where you are sitting under a tree, in a chair, on the green grass, in front of a house, wearing your white suit, black socks, black shoes (they look like slip-ons) and black ribbon tie. Oh and white shirt. Do you know the photo? I really liked it. Do you sell them? The guy at the store said I couldn’t have theirs. Where can I get one?
I wear bow ties too. Not the kind you wear, mine are like the ones portrayed by Tucker Carlson, Pee Wee Herman, Orville Redenbacher or Karl Marx. Great men wear bow ties. I’m sure that’s why you do too but you should take a pair of scissors and cut the ends off yours, they make you look like a dork.
Are you a real Colonel? Did you get that rank in the Civil War? Are you a Lieutenant Colonel or a “full bird” Colonel? Or are you a two thighs, a wing and a breast Colonel? Get it, that’s chicken humor.
Maybe you fought in Vietnam, did you? You look a little like that guy Ho Chi Minh. He was like the Lord of North Vietnam. Are you guys related? Maybe you just go to the same barber? That’s probably it.
My favorite thing to get it the KFC Famous Bowl. It has chicken, potatoes, corn, cheese and gravy. Silly me, you probably knew that already, you’re the Colonel. I like it because it has everything you need and you only have to buy just one thing. You should mash up chocolate chip cookies and put them in there too, for dessert. Put them in first so you have to eat your entire meal to get to the dessert. That would help kids finish their meals. It would be like, “Eat your broccoli Jimmy and you’ll get to the Snickers bar.” It’s a good idea and McDonald’s can’t do it because if you put cookies in the hamburger somebody might start on the wrong side and eat the Grimace or Fry Guy cookies for dessert first and then that will spoil their appetite and they won’t be able to eat the rest of the hamburger and then it will go to waste and then the mommy will be upset because those things are starting to get expensive. But you can put ice cream and stuff at the bottom of your Famous Bowls.
So maybe you can send me that poster now that I gave you a cool idea.
Okay, that’s enough writing for now. I’m sure you’re busy with your chicken empire and everything.
Thanks for sending the poster,
