You guys who think that people just answered the way they did ad a joke need to incorporate the following into your thought processes:
Never underestimate the stupidity of your fellow citizens.
I was in a conversation with an acquaintance once about raising backyard chickens for eggs. A friend of the acquaintance turned to me with a look of snobbish shock on her face (obviously think I was an idiot) and asked, "What the hell do chickens have to do with eggs?"
I just stared back, flabbergasted, and her friend got red in the face and tried to explain things to her while I walked away.
LOL. I know adults that believed you had to have a rooster to get eggs. And adults who would not eat my fresh eggs. I understand some people dont like fresh eggs but their reasoning was because those eggs came from a chickens butt.
I've encountered some pretty stupid people in my time....amusingly enough, these people were almost always European. Usually British.
Really.
I've never met an American who thought chocolate milk came from brown cows. Or who didn't know chickens laid eggs. Or who didn't know that ovaries are gonads.
There is a big difference in misunderstanding the scope of the category "dairy" and thinking that eggs pop out of a cow's a$$.
I suspect most people that consider eggs to be dairy assume that chickens are raised on the same farms as milk cows or something. Or that 'dairy' is a category of food that requires refrigeration. Ignorant to be sure, but not stupid beyond comprehension.
Even children and the mentally disabled know that birds lay eggs.

It's a cloaca, not a butt. It's an all-in-one opening. EVERYTHING comes out of it. So technically your friend was right...eggs do come from a chicken's butt. Or conversely you could say chickens poop out of their vaginas.

Interesting. The Brits rank higher than the US in both international ranking of IQ and also in no. of Nobel prizes per capita.

The point is fresh eggs from farm chickens come out of the same place those store bought eggs do.
But thanks for the refresher course. I probably forgot everything I learned in my college ornithology and biology courses and from raising backyard chickens for 10 years.
