I just came back from dinner and as I got off the freeway, guess what I saw? A chicken crossing the road! What is a single solitary chicken doing in one of the most urban parts of Miami, Florida? :p

The chicken had just arrived from Cuba. It's still confused. And that is why it was crossing the road.

Why did the chicked cross the Möbius strip?

To get to the same side!

=D?


I would wager the chicken escaped from a chicken farm. And went on one of those Incredible Journey-type affairs.

Actually.. there is a loose chicken running around my neighborhood because my neighbor had a pet chicken and it keeps getting loose and he doesn't want to chase it anymore so he let it go to fend for itself. I have taken the liberty of naming it Henrietta. To be completely honest, I wanted to name it Henry and my dad wanted to name it Etta. SO we got Henrietta. I believe that the reason it is always crossing the road, is to look for food. That is animal instinct of course. Ok. Well I hope you enjoyed my story.

Yeah, we do have that game in the US.
Question: What kind of act would a circus chicken be involved in?

Then if it stops laying eggs, get a free roast chicken instead.

I got the whole list of philosophical answers somewhere. I can remember some of my favs:
Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain. Alone.
Grandpa: When I was young I didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. It did and we were happy knowing it.
Martin Luther King Jr: I had a dream of a land where chickens can cross the road in peace!
The Bible: And God said unto the chicken "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chciken crossed the road and there was much rejoicing.
Sigmeund Freud: The fact that you are asking this question shows your sexual insecurity.
Mohammed Bob...whatever, Head of Iraqi information: There are no chickens, there never was any chicken.
George 'dubya' Bush: What's important is whether the chicken is on our side or on the other side.
Clinton: I have had no relationship with that chicken.
I could go on. Instead I'll find the original.

To flee the advancing Russian army! He packed all his belongings into a bag and fled. How would you like to have to live out of a small bag, in the middle of a war zone, eh? Russian migs hunting you down towards the tank, eh? Buildings collapsing and being blown up, no food to eat...

Ohh, ohh, chicken? Are you sure? Sorry, I thought you asked 'why did the Chechen cross the road?'

Because it heard there were plenty of menial jobs available on the otherside of the road. It seems the citizens over there did not want to take such jobs, so since he was looking for a better life he crossed the road. Because there was little or no restraint from those who guarded the road, and even though it was their job to prevent such things from happening he made it just fine. Eventually the chicken was able to settle down in a nice community and take advantage of the things that made life better on the other side of the road and he wrote and invited all of his relatives to come and take advantage of the great things he did, on the other side of the road. THE END

The chicken crossed the road because there was a road to be crossed, and verily whence the chicken had crossed the road it was no longer a mere chicken; it was a hen...
