The chicken or the egg

The chicken or the egg

It is an age-old riddle that

has perplexed generations

for many years which came

first, the chicken or the egg

So I thought to myself that

I should explore the

possibility of that question

shall we? So I thought for a

few hours and ponder about it

for quite a long while then

I drove down the street to

ask the experts at churches

fried chicken just to see

what they would have to

say but they looked at me

like I was just crazy and

shook their heads at me and

escorted me out of the premises

but not before I

got a breast and thigh extra

crispy, Ice tea with extra

Ice and no fries. You see

the question goes all the way

way back in our time even

before man came alive when

God chose the chicken and

Satan chose the egg and we

all know what happened

next. Yup, that damn

argument is still being

fought today.

Next, I decide to build a time

machine to way back in

time just to watch and see

that is when I saw Adam

chose the chicken while the

egg chose Eve and that my

friends was the first couple's

argument in our very long

history, so Eve looked down

at Adams fig leaf and laughed

real hard sorry no

pun intended and she said

Adam, you can choke your

chicken all you want but it

ain't ever getting laid by me.

I never did find out what

actually came first and I am

quite probably sure that I

never will, but I do love my

extra crispy fried chicken

with my eggs over easy and

always will.
