🔤 Wordplay
I used to run a dating service for chickens.
But I was struggling to make hens meet.
Why This Joke Works
'Ends meet' (financial survival) becomes 'hens meet' — the homophone swap works because the financial struggle of running a failing chicken dating service IS the implied plot. Both meanings coexist naturally and explain the business failure perfectly.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Set up the chicken dating service premise with genuine entrepreneurial pride, then let the financial failure of 'hens meet' deflate everything with perfect comic timing.
Perfect for:
- •At a farmer's market when someone's selling eggs
- •When a friend describes a failed startup idea
- •While watching a nature documentary about animal mating rituals
