After the laughing is done another funny happens. My hearing is also starting to depart so I could swear Mr. Wiley asks, "Do you like poultry?" It's funny because I immediately thought of a good friend of mine who admits to having a 'burning Amos' every time he eats the Colonel's Hot Wings. Mr. Wiley was actually asking, "Do you like poetry?" He then went on to quote Lord Alfred Tennyson.

Welsh Blooper
One of our favorite parts of our trip was the wonderful friendship we formed with 92-year-old Mr. Wiley, our neighbor in Wales. One morning he took us into the local church. He was so excited to show us everything and we were excited to see it. He showed us a prayer bench which was made from a tree planted by St. Garmon. I don't see well without reading glasses and I was a bit 'zoned' so I missed the period indicating the important end of a sentence and the beginning of the Biblical reference that followed. That's where you'll find the blooper. I kept the clip running a bit so you could hear my wife laughing in the background. Sorry the aspect ratio is messed up. I'm having some problems trying to figure out how to stretch it out in iMovie.

I had a floormate in college who, when the topic of conversation came to incidents of burning amos referred to those those experiences as the "hurts and burnies". Apparently a not so veiled reference to the Sesame Street characters.
I've been giggling all morning about the "hurts and burnies." Deano, you funny.
i am crying i'm laughing so hard. it does sound like he said poultry! and i love that you can't contain your wheezy laughter. hope you guys had a great thanksgiving!
