even so i think the rooster has the right to the egg
well I think you should write a letter to the president advising him what to do when such an ownership dispute arises between two countries and a chicken over an egg.
i heard this joke so may times, but in this form...."If a rooster lays an egg on top of a roof, which way does it fall, to the right or left?"
The way I heard was "If a peacock lays an egg..."
I think you give half to the president of the US and half to the prime minister of Canada for breakfast!
I don't know about that answer. In the teaser you have already said that roosters lay eggs, or at least that this one did. It never said that the event took place in this reality anyway.
i heard it a roooster lays an egg on a rooftop and the wind is blowing east which way will the egg fall.
pretty simple, but good
thats a funny umage-2 countries figghting over an egg
I heard it the same way phantomgal did... I still think it's a great teaser no matter how many times or ways you tell it. Classic trick!
y'all are sticklers....sheesh.....maybe he should change it to "IF" a rooster....that way the if will allow for the answer to be MORE within reason....though I thought it was just fine.
So old...
Love how you changed it from two sides of the roof to two countries!
How could a rooster lay the egg on on border between U.S. and Canada if roosters don't lay eggs?
the way I heard it is '... on a pyramid, will it fall to east or west?'
LOL it helps to have a few chickens
