"...like do you ever watch any cock fights?"

So I was working night duty for the past week in my hospital. I was the only student on in the whole hospital so I was getting very bored towards my last night. I was working with one of the Filipino nurses, and by day seven we were getting on great, so I was totally taken back when our conversation began as the following.

Nurse: David, are you into cock fights?
Davih: Huh? What? (Kinda getting awkward, leaning towards him, and my eyes looking very worried)
Nurse: Yeah! Like do you ever watch any cock fights?
Davih: Em...I'm a little confused. (I was definitely perspiring at this stage)
Nurse: Would you ever place a bet?
Davih: On a cock fight! (Voice raised)
Nurse: Yeah! To see who wins......like you know a cock, em, like a rooster. You know a rooster ?
Davih: Oh!....You mean cockadoodledoo. (Posture relaxes, eyes look down to the ground in relieve and the sweating eased)

Anyone that befriends me, knows that the expressions my face pull do as much communication as if I were to speak. Not once did I think he was referring to a rooster when he spoke of the cock. So you can only imagine my head was going ninety.

But in fact he was discussing the below.

**WARNING**

Any veggies or "I could never wear fur" people out there, this clip is not for you.



So, basically it's a fight between two cocks until one dies, the Filipinos do their PaddyPower thing and the winners gain, while the losers mourn the death of their beloved cock.

Any cock fight I imagined, always had a different ending!
