<VV> Corvairs Again - This time its the beast of the vairs

[Bill Hubbell]

Well, as long as you brought THAT subject up, here is one of my favorite 
jokes:

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette 
with a satisfied smile on its face.
The egg is frowning and looking very frustrated.

The egg mutters, to no one in particular,
"Well, I guess we answered THAT question!"
