Why Did the Chicken Wings Cross the Road?

Ok its not about chicken wings, we all know the classic 'why did the chicken cross the road' question. I have a question of my own: has anyone thought to ask the damn chicken? It just might tell us and put this riddle to rest forever!

I don't know where this list originated, it was forwarded to me a while ago and I saved it because...well, its funny

KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.

PLATO: For the greater good of man.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross
roads.

KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.

TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the
establishment would let it take.


SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of

rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50

tons of nerve gas on it.


RONALD REAGAN: I forget.


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

has gone before.


HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its
pancreas.


ACCENTURE: Deregulation of the chicken's

side of the road was threatening its dominant market

position. The chicken was faced with significant

challenges to create and develop the competencies

required for the newly competitive market. Andersen

Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the

client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical

distribution strategy and implementation processes.

Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen

helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies,

knowledge, capital and experiences to align the

chicken's people, processes and technology in support

of its overall strategy within a Program Management

framework. Accenture convened a diverse

cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens

along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in

the transportation industry to engage in a two-day

itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their

personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit,

and to enable them to synergize with each other in

order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and

uccessfully architecting and implementing an

enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum

of poultry cross-median processes.The meeting was held

in park-like setting, enabling and creating an

impactful environment which was strategically based,

industry focused, and built upon a consistent, clear,

and unified market message and aligned with the

chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was

conducive towards the creation of a total business.


LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you see, represents the

black man. The chicken 'crossed' the black man in

order to trample him and keep him down.


MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all

chickens will be free to cross roads without having

their motives called into question.



MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said

unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the

chicken crossed the road, and there was much

rejoicing.


FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own

eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road

before you believe it?


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.


JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean,

why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, What the heck

was this chicken doing walking around all over the

place, anyway?"


FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the

chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying

sexual insecurity.


BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken

Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will

lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance

your checkbook.


OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the

chicken cross the road?" Rather, it is, "Who was

crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked

in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"


CHARLES DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time,

have been naturally selected in such a way that they

are now genetically disposed to cross roads.


ALBERT EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road

or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon

your frame of reference.


BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken

nature.


RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the

road .. it transcended it.


ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.


COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?


BILL CLINTON : I did not, and I repeat, did not have

sexual relations with that chicken.


PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hard

working American.


L.A. POLICE DEPARTMENT: Give us five minutes with the

chicken and we'll find out.


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!


GRANDPA: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken

crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken

crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.


BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT

chicken. However, I did ask Vernon Jordan to find the

chicken a job in New York

As a Nigerian, I have a conspiracy theory about the chicken and the road. The chicken did not really cross the road but is alive and well in Saudi/Cuba/Switzerland where it is peacefully spending its stolen millions lodged in a swiss bank account. Government is just telling us this story in order to cover up the fact that the multi-billion naira poultry is on paper only and that it is in fact the only chicken they have in the entire poultry and in fact they borrowed the chicken from the night guard, Baba Marita. It is a ploy to perpetuate a 3rd term agenda and enlist Nigeria in the IOC, you'll see, mark our words...
