What A Coincidence
A chicken farmer went to a local bar, sat next to a woman and ordered a glass of champagne. The woman perks up and says, 'How about that? I just ordered a glass of champagne too!'
'What a coincidence!' the farmer says. 'This is a special day for me so I'm celebrating!'
'This is a special day for me too, I'm also celebrating!' says the woman.
'What a coincidence!' says the farmer as they clinked glasses, then asked, 'What are you celebrating?'
'My husband and I have been trying for many years to have a child, and today my gynecologist told me that I'm pregnant!'
'What a coincidence!' says the man, 'I'm a chicken farmer and for years all my hens have been infertile, but today they're finally laying eggs.'
'That's great!' says the woman, 'How did your chickens become fertile?'
'I used a different cock,' he replied.
The woman smiled and said, 'What a coincidence!'
