Everyone is dying


SALISBURY, Md. - Frank Perdue, who transformed a backyard egg business into one of the nation’s largest poultry processors using the folksy slogan, “It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken,” has died.

He died Thursday after a brief illness, Perdue Farms Inc. said Friday. He was 84.

I just picked up my last pack of chicken at the store

I remember him on those old commercials. That's a shame.

I had actually thought he'd died years ago, and that's why his son took over the commercials.

I was going to post this EXACT same thing....R.I.P. I've eaten my fair share of Perdue chickens.

To continue the chain: Yes, I thought he was dead too. He already looked 80 years old back in those 1980s ads.

Some of those ads were really damn funny, too.
