Always a Bridesmaid
Frank Perdue, the recognizable chicken farmer who revolutionized the poultry industry died Friday after a brief illness. But despite family hopes, the attendance at his memorial candlelight vigil was extremely low.
As of 8pm today, the number of candle-bearing mourners praying quietly outside his Maryland chicken processing plant was holding steady at 6, most of whom were directly related to Perdue.
According to Perdue’s eldest son Robert, the reason for the poor turnout is quite simple: “We’re pretty sure it’s because of The Pope dying” he said, “I mean don’t get me wrong, dad was a great guy, and he did some amazing things for the poultry business, but it’s pretty hard to hang with The Pope, death-wise.”

Pope John Paul II, who led the Catholic Church for 26 years, making him the third longest running Pontiff in history, died one day after Perdue. Millions of people have organized massive vigils around the globe to honor the deceased Holy man.
“It’s just a shame that the Pope died the day after dad,” Robert continued, “If he could have held out another week, I think you’d be surprised how many more folks you’d see here. Dad really knew his chicken.”
Pope John Paul is largely credited with being the driving force behind the fall of communism and revitalizing the Catholic Church. He dedicated his life to preaching tolerance and working towards world peace.
Purdue popularized a method of freeze-drying chickens that helped them remain moist upon thawing.
Frank Purdue was a great man. It's sad to hear that more people don't appreciate all he did for the chicken industry. I mean where would we be without his innovations such as clipping the beaks off of chicks to discourage infections from pecking? Or what about his great work with cage technology?
All the Pope did was help end communism in Europe and keep priests from getting married for a while longer... Come on. That's no contest. Whe cares about Europe anyway?

It's hard to believe that a man could accomplish so much. I mean all he did for chicken farming and running that college. And using a stiff drink as the mascot... Genius.

Was it purdue or the pope who banned the use of condoms so aids would spread around the world and kill all the homos?

i loved frank purdue II, he was a great man. i used to pray to him every night. he was so great, really great. whenever people would come and visit him at the vatican he would always make time and tell them what he thought. i'll never forget the time that i went to see him and asked about using condoms, and he said "no, never use them" and i was like "sweet, i lke this dude"..... a great man i tell you, just great.
