Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

SAEED AL SAHAF - Iraqi Head of Information
The chicken did not cross the road.
This is a complete fabrication.
In fact, we do not even have a chicken.

GEORGE W BUSH
We don't care why the chicken crossed the road.
We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not.
The chicken is either for us or against us.
There is no middle ground.

COLIN POWELL
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image
ofthe chicken crossing the road.

TONY BLAIR
I agree with George.

HANS BLIX
We have reason to believe there may be potential for this chicken
capability, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the
other side of the road.

DR SEUSS
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes, the chicken crossed the road,
but why it crossed I've not been told.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR
I env ision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads
without having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody
told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

TRICIA
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the
chicken tell, for the first time, the heart-warming story of how it
felt accomplishing its lifelong dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON
Imagine all the chickens, crossing all the roads.
You may say I'm a dreamer - but its not the only hen.

ARISTOTLE
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX
It was an historic inevitability.

ARSENE_ WENGER
What chicken? I did not see it.

ALEX FERGUSON
The chicken was not drawn to the other side fairly, and no one Beckham
is bigger than this club.

SIGMUND FREUD
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the
road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES
eChicken2003 will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your
important documents, and balance your cheque book - and internet
explorer is an integral part of eChicken.

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath
the chicken?

BILL CLINTON
What is your definition of chicken?

THE BIBLE
And God came down from heaven, and he said unto the chicken THOU SHALT
CROSS THE ROAD. And the chicken didst cross the road, and there was
rejoicing.

COLONEL SANDERS
Did I miss one?

HOMER_ SIMPSON
Mmmmmmmmm . . . . c h i c k e n

Maybe years old. Still funny though.

Oh sorry.

I didn't realize that the chicken had exceeded your allotted daily humor allowance.

A few more:

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.

LOUIS FARRAKHAN:
The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down.

L.A. POLICE DEPARTMENT:
Give us five minutes with the chicken and we'll find out.

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK:
To boldly go where no chicken has gone before

FOX MULDER:
You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?

MACHIAVELLI:
The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

LBK:
It crossed the road because that kitten was looking mighty hungry.
theolein:
Remaining objective about the chicken is almost impossible. You have to look at the chicken's background and place that into context....
Zimbo:
That chicken was just a projection
Ca$h:
**** the chicken! It saw me coming in my Neon.
SimeyTheLimey:
I studied chickens for 7 years, you know.
WDLove:
I sincerely hope that the chicken crossed the road safely.
DemondHood:
There are live chickens and there are dead chickens. This one's dead. And it tastes good too.
Tooki:
That chicken is exceeding the maximum allowed width of 460 pixels.

If we're talking about the same one, then Tricia is Trisha. She does a Ricki Lake type show on TV in Britain. Same old junk as the American shows, without the yank accents .

By the way, I hadn't seen the chicken crossing ther road thing before, very funny.

It'll be much easier if you just comply.

SIMEYTHELIMEY:

I saw a chicken cross the road once when I was in the army - it was my seventh year there.



DCOLTON:

I see no evidence of a chicken crossing the road - all I hear is a lot of apologists that seem to want the chicken to have crossed the road. I want to see photos.



THEOLEIN:

How the fu�k should I know why the fu�king chicken crossed the f�cking road?

SPLIFFDADDY:

What is Iceland going to do about it?



SOD OF SADR / UDAY'S CARCASS / DEAD-GUY-OF-THE-MONTH:

HAHAHA! Filthy, terrorist appeasing, European chicken - rot in your apostatic, socialist paradise!



JOHN F.SMITH:

What's your favorite chicken?, why?

Genius, you are!

Spliffdaddy:
My chicken is overclocked to cross the road at least twice as fast as the Apple chicken, and it's much cheaper, too. Plus it has these copper wings.
