It's the "everybody knows you have to have a rooster to get eggs" myth that gets me. This was said to me by a very arrogant know-it-all who grew up in the country with chickens, and knows everything about them ... and, everything else, too. I just listened attentively and, several months later, delivered some eggs to a mutual friend right in front of the know-it-all without a word. She's never mentioned it since. Her silence on the topic has spoken volumes.
