Reminds me of a story...

One of the active people in my last group is a wholesale butcher.  We were
doing a cooking workshop, and I wanted to try the recipe for roast kid
(i.e. young goat) from Platina, so I asked him if he could supply us one.
Sure, no problem.  Was he coming to the workshop? Probably.  "Well", I
said, "let me know if you  won't be coming, and I will drive out Friday and
pick it up."  At the time, my sister Johanna shared the house with us.  She
does not believe in eating red meat. Friday, while I was out shopping for
the workshop, Johanna answered the doorbell to find a stranger (one of my
friend's employees) on the doorstep with a bloodstained apron and a large
object in his arms.  "Lady, where do you want your goat?"  When I got home,
my sister informed me tartly that the next time I arranged for large dead
animals to be delivered to the house in my absence, she would appreciate
some warning.
