In 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 remember hearing it at school when quite young. But my mum knew it from her own childhood. I suspect it predates TV.

From the level of surreality, I'm tempted to guess that it can't be from further back than the late C19. But I could easily be completely wrong about that…

I had to google it, but did think I'd heard it before.
