When I was growing up in Arkansas, it was very common for people to get a job working at chicken plants and on chicken farms. Companies like Tyson who supply chickens to supermarkets all over the United States have their factories and farms in states like Arkansas where they can hire people for a very low wage. The sad thing is, getting a full-time job at a chicken plant is considered to be a great deal for people who have no skills or education and can’t go elsewhere. In fact, my brother’s first job was on a chicken farm where his job was a “chicken catcher.” True story. He ran around all day catching chickens and breaking their necks. What a horrible and dehumanizing job, right? I think it motivated him to get an education, though. Yikes. Enjoy this hilarious joke below.
A chicken farmer goes to his local bar and sits next to a woman. He orders a glass of champagne. The woman perks up and says, “How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne, too!”
“What a coincidence,” he said, “This is a special day for me, I’m celebrating.”
“This is a special day for me, too, and I’m also celebrating!,” says the woman.
“What a coincidence,” says the man. As they clinked glasses he asked, “What are you celebrating?”
“My husband and I have been trying to have a child, and today my gynecologist told me I’m pregnant!”
“What a coincidence,” says the man. “I’m a chicken farmer. For years all my hens were infertile, but today they’re finally laying fertilized eggs.”
“That’s great!” says the woman, “How did your chickens become fertile?”
“I switched cocks,” he replied.
She smiled and said, “What a coincidence!”
