Kind of reminds me of the damaged tail rotor blades on a Bell L4, how could this keep happening? 
well "sirs" one evening whilst dailying same aircraft I found an object jammed stuck in between R/H aft landing gear cross tube and step, upon investigation discovered object was a chicken leg bone. Now how could a chicken bone find its self way out in the Gulf of Mexico one may ponder ? I then noticed all the chicken grease on flight controls and woe be hold if their wasn't fried chicken crumbs all over pilots side floor. After taking pics and making a report I asked pilot how all this happened, he informed me that the cook on a platform has some awesome chicken and throwing his scraps out the window while flying is just something he enjoyed doing. Of course when the report made to ops management they all began plotting to fire me.
