Newton’s Emporium Idea

Newton: So Ashton, I heard that you were worried about the chicken supply.

Ashton: Don’t remind me. It makes me feel faint just thinking about it.

Newton: Did you see that Miss Susan from Life with Dogs and Cats told us in our comments that “Scientists now believe that dinosaurs didn’t completely disappear; they’re still with us in a different form: birds. So here’s a thought for you: Chickens are dinosaurs.”

Ashton: I did, but if we’re running out…

Newton: Hey, do you know what that means? Instead of chickens at the emporium, we can serve dinosaurs!

Ashton: I don’t think you’re understanding the issue here. And wait… Who said I was going to take you up on your offer to buy into my chicken emporium, anyhow? I see what you did there. No deal, buster!

Chicken Supply Worries

Ashton: Hurry up with the tablet, Pierre. I need to order some swag for my chicken emporium.

Pierre: You need to wait. I’m looking something up, and it may be important. I didn’t get any of the omlettes from the human plates this morning. Something about eggs getting a lot more expensive.

Ashton: More like because you’re a mooch.

Pierre: Whatever, Miss Begs-a-Lot! But look at this. I just learned that eggs come from chickens!

Ashton: I’m not sure I believe that. But I’ll play along. What’s the big deal?

Pierre: Well, why are the eggs getting a lot more expensive? There has to be a reason. What if there’s a chicken shortage?

Ashton: Surely there can’t be–

Pierre: What if they’re running out of chickens… forever?

Ashton: I think I need to go sit down. I’m not feeling very well.

Whose Chicken Emporium?

Ashton: There’s so much I am going to need to pay for my chicken emporium: There’s rent, chicken, chicken, and chicken! Good thing I found some coins under the sofa cushions. I’m not sure if it’s going to be enough for very much chicken, though.

Newton: Don’t worry, Ash. I’m here to help you achieve your dream. I’m a venture cat-italist.

Ashton: What’s a venture cat-italist? I’ve never heard of that before.

Newton: It’s someone who invests in promising new companies like yours when they are small and just getting started.

Ashton: Oh! That sounds like what I need.

Newton: I understand you are just starting out and can’t repay me immediately. So instead, why don’t you give me a percentage of the chicken emporium? Let’s say 51%? *wink*

Ashton: Let me think about it, Newton. This is a really big decision.

Ashton: What do you think? Should I let Newton have own part of my chicken emporium?

Chicken Preparation Rules

Ashton: I’ve got to get working on my chicken emporium. Newton, stop taking up all of my time with the tablet. I need to look up information about chicken.

Newton: Hang on! I’m doing research for you right now.

Ashton: What are you reading about?

Newton: Rules.

Ashton: I’m a cat. I don’t follow rules. I also don’t take turns. Give me the tablet!

Newton: It says here that there’s a law that you have to wear a hair net over all of your hair when you work in a foodservice or food preparation area.
