Ted came home from the club late one Friday evening stinking drunk,
as he often did, and crept into bed beside his wife who was already asleep.
He gave a peck on the cheek and fell asleep.
When he awoke he found a strange man standing at the end of his bed
wearing a long flowing white robe.
"Who the hell are you?" Demanded Ted, "and what are you doing in my
bedroom?".
The mysterious Man answered "This isn't your bedroom and I'm St
Peter".
Ted was stunned "You mean I'm dead!!! That can't be, I have so much
To live for, I haven't said goodbye to my family.... you've got to send me back
straight away".
St Peter replied "Yes you can be reincarnated but there is a catch. We can
only send you back as a dog or a hen." Ted was devasted, but knowing there
was a farm not far from his house, he asked to be sent back as a hen. A
flash of light later he was covered in feathers and clucking around pecking
the ground. "This ain't so bad" he thought until he felt this strange
feeling welling up inside him.
The farmyard rooster strolled over and said "So you're the new hen, how are
you enjoying your first day here?"
"It's not so bad" replies Ted, "but I have this strange feeling inside
like I'm about to explode".
"You're ovulating" explained the rooster, "don't tell me you've never laid an egg before".
"Never" replies Ted
"Well just relax and let it happen"
And so he did and after a few uncomfortable seconds later, an egg pops out
from under his tail. An immense feeling of relief swept over him and his
emotions got the better of him as he experienced motherhood for the first
time. When he laid his second egg, the feeling of happiness wasoverwhelming
and he knew that being reincarnated as a hen was the best thing that ever
happened to him... ever!!!
The joy kept coming and as he was just about to lay his third egg he felt an
enormous smack on the back of his head and heard his wife shouting "Ted,
wake up you drunken bas*ard, you're sh*tting the bed"
