Ralph came home drunk one night, slid into bed beside his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep slumber.
He awoke before the Pearly Gates where Saint 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, and that is as a chicken.”
Ralph was devastated, but begs 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, huh? How’s your first day here?”
“Not bad,” replied Ralph the Hen, but I have this strange feeling inside like I’m going to 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,” says the rooster “It’s no big deal.”
Ralph did, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg!
