WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
A contemporary view
KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.
PLATO: For the greater good.
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 justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.
JACK NICHOLSON: 'cause it f___ing wanted to.
RONALD REAGAN: I forget.
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

ANDERSEN CONSULTANT:
To Whom It May Concern and the Department Heads, all secretaries, janitors, garage attendants, street personnel, jay walkers and passers-by.
Let it be known that:
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. Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Andersen 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 successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and united market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation on a total business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.
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.

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.

BILL CLINTON: I did not have an improper relationship with that chicken.
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?
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, do your taxes, and balance your check book with a soon to come update…The Road Kill Chicken Handbook, first edition (all user-friendly if you have Microsoft,
and only Microsoft, and nothing but Microsoft, so help you God!OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" but rather, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"
DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.
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.

A Letter From a Parent to a Student
Dear Son,
I'm writing this slow cause I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left. Your Dad read in the paper where most accidents happen within 2 miles of home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address, as the last Arkansas family that here took the numbers with them for their next house so they wouldn't have to change their address. Wish we'd a been that smart.
This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven't seen 'em since. It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and 4 days the second time.
The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
We got a bill from the funeral home, said if we didn't make the last payment in Grandma's funeral, up she comes.
About your father; he has a lovely new job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting grass at the cemetery.
About your sister; she had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a boy or a girl, so I don't know if you are an aunt or an uncle.
Your uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to pull him out, by the fought them off playfully, so he drowned. We creamated. He burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off the fridge in a pickup. One was driving, the other ones was in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other two drowned. They couldn't get the tailgate down.
Not much more news at this time, nothing much has happened. Write more often.
Mom
PS Was going to send you some money, but the envelope was already sealed.

An Excuse Worth Its Weight In Gold
A guy comes home completely drunk one night. He lurches through the door and is met by his scowling wife, who is most definitely not happy.
"Where the hell have you been all night?" she demands.
"At this fantastic new bar," he says "called The Golden Saloon. Everything there is golden."
"Bullshit! There's no such place!"
Her husband slurs, "Sure there is! It's got huge golden doors, a golden floor, the works - hell, even the pisser's made of gold!"
The wife still doesn't believe his story, and the next day shecks the phone book, finding a place across town called the Golden Saloon.
"Is this the Golden Saloon?" she asks when the bartender answers the phone. "Yes it is," he answers.
"Do you have golden doors?"
"Most certainly do, madam."
"Do you have golden floors?"
"We certainly have, madam."
"What about the urinals? Are they golden too?"
There's a long silence followed by the somewhat muffled voice of the bartender as he yells, "Hey, Duke, I think I have a lead on the guy that pissed in your saxophone last night!"
