the eggs

I though of that old joke.
This guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken." And, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?"
And the guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs."

Well, I guess that's pretty much how I feel about relationships. They're totally irrational and crazy and absurd...,but I guess we keep going through it because... most of us need the eggs.
