The Best Way to a Man’s Heart

i stumbled upon an article about a roast chicken recipe which has spawned over 70 wedding proposals. i swear i did not type “engagement tips” or “how to find a man tips” or "help me. the majority of my gal friends are either engaged, married or with children but i am not. what do i do?" into any search engines to find this recipe.

according to the article, once a gal makes this for her man, he tends to propose within days of eating it. now, i don't know how large of a pool we're talking about here or how accurate their measuring methods are. it could be 72 out of a million couples.

but what other factors could be at play if it's not based soley on this chicken?
- the guy can’t cook and when he found a gal who could he knew he would no longer have to eat crap ever again.
- this chicken was served during a special occasion where it would look bad if the guy didn’t propose. like grandparents were there constantly ribbing the guy to do it.
- it was out of guilt. the girl spent her entire life-savings to buy and prepare it.
- there was booze (a whole lotta booze).
- the chicken was served right before the gal said, “i’m late this month.”
- the guy got food poisoning, suffered from a hallucination, mistook it for a sign from above thereby leading him to propose.
- the guy was going to propose anyway but because of timing it just looked like the chicken had something to do with it

well, whatever the reason food is a happy thing and engagements are too so yay to roast chicken and rings (whatever, you try writing something witty while hopped up on cough syrup. let’s see how well you do).
