Poor Chicken

Seven billion years ago, they had switched on Deep Thought, the greatest computer that ever had been, and had asked him the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. Deep Thought had told them that it would take him seven billion years to calculate it. Of course, seven billion years is a long time, but they had had no choice - Deep Thought was the greatest computer that ever was. (Of course, there was to be a better and a faster computer that would be designed later, but that is another story)

Today, was the day when the answer was due. Deep Thought slowly opened his greatest-computer-that-ever-was-ly eyes, and blinked.

"Do you have an answer?" They asked him.
Deep thought nodded silently.
"Tell us! Tell us the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything!"
There was an unnerving silence, followed by and unnerving whooshing of the wind, which continued till the unnerving silence resumed.
Deep Thought said one word, "Egg."

"Nice wedding cake!"
"Thanks."
"Can I have a second portion?"
"Help yourself."
"Mmmmm. Chocolate was a good choice, I must say."
"He insisted."
"The groom? Too bad he never showed up."
