Q.:Why did the chicken cross the road?

For the greater good.

It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

RICHARD M. NIXON
The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.

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

The newly released Chicken 2009, will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

No Tamil or outside chickens will be allowed to cross our roads, our roads are meant only for Kanadiga chickens!.

BAL THACKERAY
Chickens crossing the roads is against our culture, my followers will stone all such chickens which cross the road.

From reliable sources I've got the information that the chicken belongs to Karunanidhi. He is making his chicken cross the road to create law & order problems. The chicken has now been imprisoned under POTA..

The chicken has crossed the road?.. are you sure.. very sure ... really sure...

MANEKA GANDHI
Chicken crossed the road alone...!! If a vehicle had passed over it, we would have lost one of our dearest creatures. Ban all vehicles from using the road. Protect our chickens...

If it was a Thatcherite chicken, it would have been because she wanted to LIterally take a leek......and then the rest ..;)

BUt it's ok because it's now a New Labour chicken and it asks the other side of the road's opinion before it continues to exploit it regardless. (Wind turbine rant)

Britex, totally off the point.. if you haven't already, read a book called Íncendiary by Chris Cleave.. you'll like it, I think.

J.R.R. Tolkein: The chicken, sunlight coruscating off its radiant yellow- white coat of feathers, approached the dark, sullen asphalt road and scrutinized it intently with its obsidian-black eyes. Every detail of the thoroughfare leapt into blinding focus: the rough texture of the surface, over which countless tires had worked their relentless tread through the ages; the innumerable fragments of stone embedded within the lugubrious mass, perhaps quarried from the great pits where the Sons of Man labored not far from here; the dull black asphalt itself, exuding those waves of heat which distort the sight and bring weakness to the body; the other attributes of the great highway too numerous to give name. And then it crossed it.
