That begs the obvious question; Why did the chicken cross the ocean?

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed.
The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on its face.
The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over, and says,
"Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question."

Reminds me of a friend’s variation of the old joke:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Um....sooo? Do we now have to have DIVERSITY among chickens....or do we owe them something, because they were the first eaten here?
