Great pullets in history.

Little known fact: Hannibal of Carthage never went into battle without his faithful warrior chicken, Hortense the Ferocious, close at hand. 

Rotten luck.

Unfortunately for Craig's field sobriety test, he picked a bad time
to confuse "spread eagle" and "Chicken Dance."

Little tiny wishbone.

The wishbone on a Cornish game hen is extremely small, so only little tiny wishes can be made on it. With a turkey wishbone you could wish to win the lottery; with a chicken wishbone, maybe a scratch-off; with a Cornish game hen wishbone, maybe that you'll find a sawbuck on the street.

What little tiny wishes are appropriate for a game hen wishbone?

• sick enough for day off, not sick enough to ruin it
• spontaneous resolution of cable box problems 
• tires hold out for another year
• daughter will make Girl Scout Cookie sales quota
• death to crabgrass!
• boss will take an extra week of vacation
• no Spice Girls reunion
• hangnail remedy
• movie you picked for family movie night will not bore you, embarrass children, give grandma coronary
• lustrous hair for prom
• discovery of lost file cabinet key 
• son will stop putting baseball cap on backward
• really cute pair of shoes for prom too (better eat another hen)
• Kardashians shuffle off to well-deserved obscurity (all right, that's chicken-size, but worth a try)
• Jets won't 100% suck this year

Good stuff from a game hen wishbone, but small stuff. Now an ostrich wishbone---now you're talking stuff.
