Easter Eggs

A hundred male construction workers working so hard in the middle of the desert were given a special treat by a genie from an old lamp. The lamp was found a hundred feet below the ground. Different colored-eggs in a big basket were offered by the genie. The genie said, "These eggs are enough for all of you. Choose any color you want, but you can pick only one." Then the genie disappeared. The foreman started the picking while the other ninety-nine workers are in line. Everybody got an egg. And each of them was excited about the egg. Some workers were puzzled why all eggs are of different shapes and sizes. But by majority, so long as each of them has an egg as a gift, is good enough to be rewarded for their hard work. Moments later, all eggs have been opened and everybody was surprised for getting everyone's wish for life... a dancing chick!
