Strange Conversations: Part Four Hundred and Twenty-Nine

Posted 2 January 2012 in by Catriona

Watching George Gently with my parents:

MY FATHER: That’s the kiss of death!
ME: Nah.
MY FATHER: It is.
ME: T’isn’t. The kiss of death is on the lips.
MY FATHER: Are you sure?
ME: Every kiss of death I’ve ever seen has been on the lips.
MY FATHER: That kiss of death my old boss gave your mother wasn’t on the lips.
ME: Well, your old boss wasn’t in the Mafia.
MY FATHER: So you reckon the chicken-industry kiss of death is different?
ME: Yeah, the chicken-industry kiss of death is probably on the cheek.

Indeed. I imagine the chicken-industry kiss of death is a peck on the cheek.

Everyone who has responded to this post has made that joke! Words cannot express how distressed I am that I never, ever thought of it until prompted.
