👔 Classic Dad Joke

What did the egg say to the boiling water?

It might take me a while to get hard; I just got laid by a chick.

Why This Joke Works

"Get hard" in egg-cooking terms means becoming hard-boiled, which is biologically accurate. "Just got laid by a chick" is a poultry fact — hens lay eggs. Every word in the punchline is technically defensible as egg biology, but the combined effect is unmistakably adult. It's one of the most elegantly constructed misdirections in the set.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Voice the egg with the flustered dignity of someone explaining they just need a moment — like they've had a long morning and the boiling water is being unreasonable about timelines.

Perfect for:

  • While making breakfast and dropping eggs into boiling water
  • At a brunch gathering when the hardboiled egg discussion comes up
  • During an Easter egg prep session when someone asks why eggs take so long

💡 Did You Know?

Double entendres have been a staple of comedy since Shakespeare — many of his plays are packed with innuendo that would make even modern audiences blush.
