What Came First?

What Came First the Chicken or the Egg? What these famous people might have said.

Donald Trump
I think the chicken came first, okay? It just makes sense. You need a chicken to lay an egg, right? It’s common sense, folks. And let me tell you, we’re going to make chickens great again.

Albert Einstein
“The answer, my friend, lies in the process of evolution. The egg, over countless generations, gradually transformed into what we recognize as the modern-day chicken. So, in the grand scheme of things, it was the egg that came first.”

Dr Seuss
“Oh, the question’s quite fun, a riddle, you see, Did the egg or the chick come to be?
In a world full of wonders, where whimsy takes flight, It doesn’t much matter, it’s all just delight!”

Colonel Sanders
“Well, darlin’, I reckon it’s the chicken that came first. After all, without the chicken, there’d be no finger-lickin’ good fried chicken for folks to enjoy!”

Confucius
“Seek harmony in the question, not the answer.”

Yoda
“Mmm, the egg, young one, came first it did. The cycle of life, it is. In the egg, the potential lies, for the chick to hatch and the Force to flow. A question of beginnings, it is not, but of the Force’s eternal flow, it is.”

Ann Landers
“Well, dear, it’s quite simple. The egg came first. Nature always starts with the basics.”

Paul Harvey
“And now you know the rest of the story: the egg came first, for within its fragile shell lies the promise of life, the beginning of a new chapter in the grand story of our world.”

Mark Twain
“Why, the egg, of course! It had to hatch into a chick eventually.” 

Sherlock Holmes
“Elementary, my dear Watson. The egg, as it represents the initial stage of life’s development, logically precedes the chick.”

Jim Gaffigan
Well, you see, it’s a lot like that late-night pizza dilemma. Does it matter who came first when you’re hungry?” 

Laugh More

Laughing Zebra“We don’t laugh because we’re happy,
we’re happy because we laugh.”
William James

When I read the following story I couldn’t stop laughing; I love crazy things that make you laugh: SAD NEWS – Please join me in remembering YET ANOTHER great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and traumatic complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71. Dough Boy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the Oven. Services were held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Genuine humor points out the weakness of humanity, but without contempt. It is a commentator on life, not a critic of it. Its purpose is to uplift, not tear down, and to lighten the burdens of others, not add to them.
Good humor does not belittle or promote stereotypes because it comes from the heart, not the mind. It is a shock absorber that helps us get over the bumps in life.

Love, live, laugh! Laugh at the unexpected, or maybe a one liner.
*When you don’t know what you are doing, do it neatly.
*The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
*Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
*I don’t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
*Don’t take life too seriously, you won’t get out alive.
*Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others, whenever they go.
*I intend to live forever. So far, so good

Mark Twain said, “Timing plus misfortune equals humor.” So now, every time something happens that I consider a misfortune I say, “Just wait, in time we will look back at this moment, and have a good laugh.”
