So… which makes more sense: Expensive Airplane or Senior Concubine Chicken? My misinterpretation was a logical error, wasn’t it?

Highly recommended, by the way. It’s yummy.

  1. I’m reading this at work and just laughed so hard the entire office turned around and stared at me like I was from Mars. What was worse was when i tried to explain what I was laughing about. “Expansive airplane makes more sense!” did not go over well.

      1. It’s very possible. I wouldn’t have known the English translation though! My boyfriend works at the office with me and was still giving me hell about it today
