joined clavicle bone to cut in two halfs Explanation: That is a tricky thing to do when you try to cut a chiken in two halfs. Normally only one half of it will contain this two-pronged fork shaped bone. It is an old superstition that breaking it together with your table companion would make your dream/wish come true. |
