“Hey, Tom,” says a friend, “I've got a joke for you.” “I'm listening.” “There once was a man who had an egg which would not hatch. The man gave the egg to a chicken, who laid another egg that hatched, and from that egg came a chicken that laid another egg that hatched, and from that egg came a chicken that laid another egg that hatched, and from that egg came a chicken that laid another egg that hatched…” “Hey, wait a minute,” I say. “How many eggs are we up to?” “Seven.” “I mean how many chickens are we up to?” “Uh…three?” “What's the punch line?”"I don't know.""So how do you know it's a good joke?""I don't. I guess you just enjoy this list of interesting facts and hope it makes you laugh."The punch line of this joke is: The original chicken and the original egg are still out there somewhere, but we don't know where they are.
