мне нужно перевести вот такой образчик, кхе, юмористического текста:
"Такая зарплата -- все куры давно со смеху померли. Ходила в магазин – нету курей! Говорят – куриный грипп, а я так думаю, что со смеху..."
...поэтому от кур никак не отвертеться.
помогите, пожалуйста.

Below is my attempt to help you out.
And my pay/salary could make a chicken laugh itself to death. I went shopping and they had no chickens on stock. They say it's chicken flu but I think all chickens did die from laughing (out loud).

: Definitely better. I would substitute "apy/salary" for "paycheck" maybe, though there are no paychecks in Russia but it's just more understandable for English readers.

это я сам придумал.
со смехом (я имею в виду перевод) и к пущему смеху можно добавить -
i am convinced it wasn\'t flu, they laughed themselves stomach ulcers.

Chicken Stock - Laughing Stock>>>
"The only thing this pay is good for is to be made a laughing stock. Went to a supermarket and they say 'No chicken!', they say all the poultry is dead from the bird flu, but I think they've been used up for chicken stock - a laughing stock, I tell you!"
Something went wrong...
