i ACTUALLY SAW A GEEK IN A CARNIVAL in a small town in the 1950's. He appeared to be what we would call today developmentally disabled. He sat on the ground inside a snow-fenced area and killed a chicken that was thrown to him. He then methodically picked it apart and ate most of the meaty parts.

Now I'm jealous. I guess that's what I get for being just a lad. Thanks for sharing the tale.
