I Just Need A Little More Information...

I went to Bashas yesterday to order food for Bunco and the manchild that was running the deli had this conversation with me: Me: So, I need to order food for a party that I'm having and I'm not sure how many chickens I will need. ManChild: How many people are you feeding? Me: Twelve MC: How many men are eating? Me: None, just twelve ladies. MC: Well, how many of them are expecting? Me: What? I think two... MC: How many of them are big eaters? Me: Huh? Just tell me how many chickens! MC: I have no idea what kind of people will be at your party, so I'm not quite sure.
