ventaIn respect of yesterday's poll: hurrah, you are all sensible people. And you have confirmed my belief that one of my colleagues, who unexpectedly proclaimed "what's the difference between a chicken?" (and then insisted that "duck" was insanity), is Just Wrong.

I wonder if the joke has a common origin (eg a particular TV show, or something). If not, it's impressively widespread for what isn't really even a particularly funny joke.
