Funny Story - A chicken farmer and a woman celebrate.

 A chicken farmer went to the local bar. He sat next to a woman and ordered champagne.

The woman said: “How strange, I also just ordered a glass of champagne.”

“What a coincidence,” said the farmer, who added, “It is a special day for me. I’m celebrating”

“It is a special day for me too, I am also celebrating!” said the woman.

“What a coincidence.” said the farmer.

While they toasted, the farmer asked, “What are you celebrating?”

“My husband and I have been trying to have a child for years, and today, my gynecologist told me that I was pregnant.”

“What a coincidence,” said the man. “I am a chicken farmer and for years all my hens were infertile, but now they are all set to lay fertilized eggs.”

“This is awesome,” said the woman. “What did you do for your chickens to become fertile?”

“I used a different rooster,” he said.

The woman smiled and said, “What a coincidence”

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
