In a shock rebuff to the US army, Colonel Saunders has rejected a promotion to General.
The promotion was offered to Colonel Saunders last week in recognition of his long service.
Colonel Saunders speaking on a telephone from his chicken farm in New Jersey said that after talking to his wife, Mrs. Saunders, he decided not to take the promotion offered.
"I have spent literally millions on promoting my name at fast food outlets around the world and not only that, imagine a slogan like "General Saunders secret mix of 11 herbs and spices" it would just sound silly and pompous," explained the white-suited silver-haired chicken magnate.
