KFC, formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, just announced that it is moving its headquarters from Louisville Kentucky to Plano Texas. Too bad for Louisville. KFC was founded there and had always been there. I bet a lot of people eat KFC during the Kentucky Derby. I don’t, but I bet people do.
I don’t know what this means for the Colonel. I’ve always pretty much thought of the Colonel as a Civil War era guy. I mean, they don’t ever show him driving a tank or being in ‘Nam or anything. Kentucky was a border state in the Civil War. I’m thinking the Colonel might have been a Yankee. There was more population in the north and he could sell more chicken there. If he’s gotta move to Texas, and if the Texans think he was a Yankee, I’m afraid of what might happen to him.
Nice knowin' ya, Colonel. I hope they don't give you a lickin' down there.
(I know this is 20/20 hindsight, but if Kentucky had made the chicken its state bird, KFC would never have left.)
