Summary: (It's all bunk...)

In writing a letter to a friend in Japan, 
I do believe I have stumbled across the answer to the age
old paradox : 

	Which came first... the chicken or the egg.

(It isn't half as funny as to why I should be bothering to mention
this sort of junk in a letter to someone who has been 8 months in Japan
and by now has probably had enough Zen to bore to death a writer of
fortune cookies, but that isn't part of this joke. Somehow, I rambled
my way out into it and out of it. Does it show already that I am
not speaking with forked tongue ? Good, because at this rate of B.S., 
my tongue ain't forked, it's more like a shovel...)

Anyway, the egg didn't come first. Everyone knows eggs don't come (sp?).

And, since the first egg fertilization probably took place with a virgin
chicken (I am not sure of this, but it depends on your definition of a virgin
chicken), and since it is very rare that sex for the first time
is not all that great for females (regardless of species),
it stands to reason that the chicken did not come (sp??) either.

So who got off ?? 

Obviously, the rooster came first. (Not to despair... the chicken probably
thought she was in love and that it was meant to feel that way.)
