Joke:
Psychiatrist: What is wrong with your wife? Husband: She thinks she's a chicken. Psychiatrist: How long has she been acting like a chicken? Husband: Three years. We would have come in sooner, but we needed the eggs.
Other version:
- "After greeting her hostess, the visitor could contain herself no longer. "I think you ought to know," she said, "that as I came in, I found little Mary out in front making strange, clucking noises and pecking around in the grass with her nose. "Yes, I know," replied the mother. "She thinks she's a chicken." "Oh, dear," said the guest. "Well, I have a very good friend who is a fine psychiatrist, and I'm sure he could get little Mary straightened out. Let me take her to see him." * * * "Absolutely not," said the mother. "I hate psychiatrists. And besides, we need the eggs.", Poultry Digest, 1952.
As featured in Annie Hall: You know, this guy goes to his psychiatrist and says, "Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken." And the doctor says, "Well why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships– you know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd, but, I guess we keep going through it because most of us need the eggs.
