The Chicken was a Chinaman...

Hi everyone,
I thought this was so hilarious that it warrants a posting here :wink.
During a recent road trip through Quebec, my husband and I bought a rotisserie chicken for a late night snack at a small (Asian!) supermarket. Being a hungry grub, hubbie pulled all the crispy skin off the chicken in a hurry and that's when I heard him shout "oh my God, it's a Chinaman". Not having the faintest idea what he was talking about but nevertheless compelled by the urgency in his voice, I sprinted around the corner - and stopped dead in my tracks. The chicken was a "Chinaman" :huh...
For all of you who don't believe me, I am attaching the picture I took as proof. Granted, we had indulged in some of Quebec's finest wines earlier that evening, but even looking at it now, he's still there . Is it just us, or can you spot him as well???

[Uh, yeah, that term is a little racist, even if you were in Quebec. :-/]
P.S.: I am a German living in the US and I've had my share dished out to me, ranging from "Kraut" to "Nazi" and worse, yet I think one needs to distinguish between "just kidding" and ignorant stereotyping...
P.P.S. "embellished" was left over from an edited sentence - what I meant was of course "indulged", thanks .
P.P.S. - you really can't see the face? Maybe it was some very good wine... I can still see the narrow eyes, long nose, little curl of hair and a tiny mouth. And I still think it's funny !

As for the face, well I think you need to make a note of the wine you were drinking it certainly does have an affect.................and yes I did see the face but I'm not sure I am seeing it as you did
