Beefing Over Chicken Or Beef

The International Herald Tribune has a story about how the question of “chicken or beef” escalated into a physical confrontation and then, literally, into a federal case.

Actually, it was more a question of “beef or beef” because the flight attendant had run out of chicken.

I haven’t heard that question for a while. Now I realize this is not because the airlines are starving us, but because they’re keeping us safe.
