I sort of stopped eating chicken a while ago.
I sort of have never been to a Chik-fil-A.
The kicker: I almost won a second year’s worth.

Curiosity (by Alastair Reid)
may have killed the cat; more likely the cat was just unlucky, or else curious to see what death was like, having no cause to go on licking paws, or fathering litter on litter of kittens, predictably.
