According to my records the egg bought a house and two apartments in 1998 while the chicken invested in a Donegal hotel in 1999 so in conclusion, it must have been the egg.

I don't get it either, I don't see what is so derogatory about the word actress??

You can't really have two best actor awards, would it be best actor (male) and best actor (female)??

Pile of crap
