What Came First: The Joke Or The Setup?

(My dad loves to make bad jokes, which tend to make my mom and I groan.)

Me: “Hey, Mom, do we still have any chicken left from last night?”

Mom: “Yeah, it should still be in the fridge.”

Me: “Oh, okay. I guess I thought that the container with the egg stuff in the fridge was the same one you had used for the chicken.”

Dad: *smiles* “I guess you could say you had a chicken and the egg problem, huh?”

Me: *pause* “I can’t even say anything. I walked straight into that one.”
