One of usually peaceful springtime rituals of childhood — the Easter egg hunt — turned nasty at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.

One hen laid out, but nobody dyed. That’s something to crow/cackle about.

The dame who threw the punch was hardboiled though.
Asked why she did it: “I dunno eggzactly. I just cracked.”

She didn’t understand why, either, claiming to be a “fresh egg”:
“I was just laid this morning!” she eggsclaimed.

Am I racist, if my first thought was "I bet these folks are black."?

I haven't read to the end, was I wrong?
