So much for the Golden Egg...Ralph came home drunk one night, slid into bed beside his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep sleep.
He awoke before the Pearly Gates, where St. Peter said, "You died in your sleep, Ralph."
Ralph was stunned. "I'm dead? No, I can't be, I've got too much to live for. Send me back!"
St. Peter said, "I'm sorry, but there's only one way you can go back: as a chicken."
Ralph was devastated, but begged St. Peter to send him to a farm near his home.
The next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking, and pecking the ground.
A rooster strolled past. "So, you're the new hen, eh? How's your first
day here"
"Not bad," replied Ralph the hen, "but I have this strange feeling
inside. Like I'm gonna explode!"
"You're ovulating," explained the rooster. " Don 't tell me you've never laid an egg before?"
"Never," said Ralph.
"Well, just relax and let it happen."
Ralph did, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg!
Ralph was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon
laid another egg -- his joy was overwhelming.
As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard his wife shout,
"Darnit, Ralph! Wake up. You're crapping in the bed!"
"Didn't you sell RGZ when I told you to?"
(Had to add that last bit)
Forced to wait.
