Chicken lays bowling-pin shaped egg
Story
An animal lover has found her chickens are game for anything after one laid an egg resembling a tenpin bowling pin. Natalie Wiltshire said the bizarre creation was laid by one of her 20 chickens and reckons it is one of a kind. 'I've done a bit of research and there's nothing to suggest you should ever get eggs in this shape,' said the 43-year-old. 'It really is quite an extraordinary shape. All I need now is another nine pins and a round one for a bowling ball and we have the complete set,' she joked.

The story when told very straight like this, is not very entertaining. I think this story needs a bit of egg - saturation (pun sorry).
ReplyDeleteWhat if the hen lays nine bowling pin shaped eggs and the story ends with a "nooo..." as you see another hen running up with a bowling ball shaped egg. This idea is not really deviation, as its suggested by the comments of the woman in the story so you would be just visualising her comment... Think about it.
