I don't know about you but I hope they were no longer alive. . . .

Why would you even ask such a question?

It's not my question. Ask them why. . . .

"Expired" has two meanings - died, or past its use-by date. I imagine it's the latter in this case.

We all know that, but their choice of words tickles the quirky mind just a little. . ..

Ah, yes, the wording . . . .

Interpretation one: No, they are completely expired.
Interpretation two: If the date is only nearly expired, there’s no problem, is there?

And neither choice is very appealing.

The image of Richard Chamberlain in Shogun checking on the chicken (or was it a duck or goose) that he hung from the eave of his house to cure it before cooking it for dinner came to mind - apparently extremely “expired” fowl was a favored Dining experience in Western culture at one time.

If they were, they are completely expired at the end.

Here's my problem.

That was a dirty bird. You should have let it expire first . . .
