"Are you trying to make a statement?"
"No," I said. "Just having a little fun."

Reminds me of the time years ago I took a cookie sheet pan full of dove breast poppers to a neighborhood potluck BBQ. People gobbled them up and pressed me for what they were (most thought they were chicken liver wrapped in bacon). I had put a slice of nippy jalepeno pepper in each so they couldn't ID them right off. When they were nearly all gone, I told them what they were. Our local PITA type cried in a stage voice, "YOU KILLED, COOKED and ATE THE 'BIRD OF PEACE"??!!! I told her, 'Yeah; ever tried to eat a live one?"
