But instead of accepting his fate, he struck a deal to return to life… as a chicken. What followed was a feathery, egg-laying experience he never saw coming.

Stumbled into bed

Bob had a habit of enjoying his evenings a bit too much, and one night was no exception. He stumbled into bed late, slipping in quietly beside his peacefully sleeping wife. Unbeknownst to him, the night held more surprises than he could ever imagine.

As dawn broke, Bob didn’t wake up in his familiar bedroom but instead found himself standing before the majestic Pearly Gates.

“Am I dreaming?” he wondered aloud.

St. Peter, with a clipboard in hand, greeted him warmly.
“Bob, I’m afraid you passed away in your sleep.”

Bob’s jaw dropped.
“This can’t be! I’m not ready to go. I’ve got so much to live for!”

St. Peter, empathizing with his plight, offered a solution.
“Well, there is one way you can return—but only as a chicken.”

Bob, desperate to get back to life, reluctantly agreed. Before he could protest further, he was instantly transported to a nearby farm, now covered in feathers and clucking involuntarily.

Clucking Confusion

Bob, adjusting to his new reality as a hen, was greeted by a rather smug rooster.
“Well, well, look who’s new in the coop! How’s it going, hen?”

Bob hesitated, still bewildered by the situation.
“Not bad, but I’ve got this weird pressure inside me. I feel like I’m about to burst!”

The rooster chuckled.
“Ah, you’re ovulating. Don’t tell me you’ve never laid an egg before!”

Bob, wide-eyed, shook his feathery head.
“Never.”

“Well, it’s easy,” said the rooster. “Just relax and let nature take its course.”

After a moment of hesitation, Bob gave it a try. To his astonishment—and a bit of discomfort—out came an egg. Overcome with emotion, Bob felt the unexplainable joy of motherhood. He laid another egg, then another. Just as he was about to lay his third, a sharp smack to the back of his head jolted him awake.

“Bob! Wake up!” his wife hollered. “You’re drunk again and pooping in the bed!”

This story is absolutely hilarious and brilliantly written! It takes the idea of “waking up in an unexpected place” to a whole new level—who would have thought a night of overindulgence could lead to a dream about becoming a chicken?  The blend of surreal humor with relatable domestic chaos at the end is what makes it pure comedic gold.

Bob’s journey from drunken stupor to standing at the Pearly Gates is so vivid and unexpected, and the absurdity only escalates from there. The image of Bob negotiating his way back to life as a chicken is laugh-out-loud funny. And then, the clucking, the egg-laying epiphany, and the “joy of motherhood”—it’s such an over-the-top, ridiculous twist that you can’t help but imagine it all play out. The smug rooster’s advice adds an extra layer of comedy, as if Bob is casually inducted into the world of poultry life without a choice.

But the final punchline takes the cake (or the egg, in this case)! Bob’s wife’s reaction is the cherry on top, snapping us back to reality in the most embarrassing way possible. It’s the kind of story where you laugh, groan, and then laugh again as the realization of what really happened sinks in.

This story is a perfect example of how humor can blend the surreal with the mundane, making it both wildly imaginative and painfully relatable. It’s impossible not to chuckle at the thought of poor Bob waking up to his wife’s yelling after such an “egg-citing” adventure. Share this gem—your friends will thank you for the laugh!
