It’s Turkey Day, Not Chicken Day
Which came first . . .the chicken or the egg?
I would postulate that the egg came first, though it was laid by something similar to what we know now as a chicken but was not exactly so. We will call this momma creature X-icken. X-icken probably laid about a half a dozen eggs and sat on them and hatched ‘em and then wondered what was up with those two odd looking ones that certainly didn’t resemble X-icken or Mr. X-icken. Mr. X-icken was pretty upset and after beating up the milkchicken and mailchicken, turned to the bottle and, well, it was a horrible time for the X-icken family.
The two odd X-icken children, X-ickenette and Bob, felt unloved most of their lives, and ran off to be free from the abusive alcoholic father X-icken. Where exactly they went no body knows. Some say Nebraska. To avoid being found by their parents (who weren’t really looking for them anyway), X-ickenette changed her name to Chicken and Bob became Bob Jr. They had their own eggs of children that looked like them: plump, delicious chickens.
And they lived happily ever after.
