Two chickens are talking to each other while standing in line. Well, mostly only one chicken is talking. The other is listening listlessly while the first brags about how hard he’s worked his entire life.
Chicken 1: I got up at dawn with the roosters and pecked the hell out of the ground until the sun went down all day, every day.
Chicken 2: I just hung around and pecked the ground when I had to.
Chicken 1: How did that make you feel?
Chicken 2: Well, I had some good times, but overall, it wasn’t wonderful. How did working so hard make you feel?
Chicken 1: To be honest, pretty shitty. My back hurts. Got the beakitis. My neck pops when I look down. And my wishbone is totally screwed. But I have my pride.
Chicken 2: That’s interesting. I wonder which one of us is going to taste better when that machine up there grinds us into nuggets.
Chicken 1: Oh well, that’s definitely going to be m…wait, what?
We were never meant to live only to work.
