Why did the chicken cross the road?
Maybe politically incorrect, but political. A little levity! (e-mail I rec'd/no link)


Why did the chicken cross the road?



Why did the chicken cross the road?

SARAH PALIN: The chicken crossed the road because, gosh-darn it, she's a maverick!

BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for change! The chicken wanted change!

JOHN MC CAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because she recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that
little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.

GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really 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 against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?

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

BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken.

AL GORE: I invented the chicken.

JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't
realize that she must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help her realize how stupid she's acting by not taking on her current problems before adding new problems.

OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems,
which is why she wants to cross this road so badly. So instead of having the chicken learn from her mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a NEW CAR so that she can just drive across the road and not live her life like the rest of the chickens.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because she's guilty! You can see it in her eyes and the way she walks.

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

MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

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

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.

JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, That chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the Liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.

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.

BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish it's lifelong dream of crossing the road.

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

JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2011, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

1. 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. Accenture, 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), Accenture 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.

In two years I never did figure out what a PQM or an NBR was. I learned to just nod my head and pretend like I knew what the bosses were talking about.

Donald Rumsfeld: There are chickens that cross the road, and we don't know why they crossed. And there are chickens that don't cross the road, and we don't know why we don't know.

25. OK, YOU started this
PLATO: For the greater good.

ARISTOTLE: To actualize its potential.

KARL MARX: It was historically inevitable.

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 nerve gas on it.

RONALD REAGAN: I forget.

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

MR. SCOTT: 'Cos ma wee transporter beam was na functioning properly. Ah canna work miracles, Captain!

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

ARTHUR ANDERSEN CONSULTANT: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the Road was threatening its dominant 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 Management framework. Andersen Consulting 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 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 unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.

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

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR: It had a dream.

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.

AGENT 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. .

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?"

DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.

SIR ISAAC NEWTON: Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to cross the road.

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.

SALVADOR DALI: Giraffe.

HOMER SIMPSON: Doh, why do they always ask me the hard questions?

LADY DIANA: Because papperazzi were chasing it.

OJ SIMPSON: I'm still looking for the real chicken that crossed the road. In every country club golf course I can find.

JESSIE JACKSON: Why is it every time I see this chicken story in a cartoon the chicken is white?

ADAM SMITH: By acting in accord with the chicken's own wishes, it is as if an invisible hand pulled the chicken across the road and increased total social utility.

BILL MAHER: Call it what you want, but chickens crossing dangerous streets to possibly get run over is not cowardly.

IMMANUEL KANT: It was acting upon the fully generalizable maxim that beings may cross roads.

TONY SOPRANO: Enough wit da fuckin' chicken. Now get da fuck outta heah!

GEORGE BUSH I: To face a kinder, gentler thousand points of headlights.

GEORGE BUSH II: The chicken... it was crossinating the road because it was both compassionated and construitive. How true that is.

ROBERT FROST: To cross the road less traveled by.

JOHANN FRIEDRICH VON GOETHE: The eternal hen-principle made it do it.

JOHN PAUL JONES: It has not yet begun to cross!

STAN LAUREL: I'm sorry, Ollie. It escaped when I opened the run.

THOMAS PAINE: Out of common sense.

MARK TWAIN: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

MAE WEST: I invited it to come up and see me sometime.

TORQUEMADA: Give me five minutes alone with him and I'll give you the answer.

RALPH NADER: The chicken's habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross.

JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side". That's what they call it -- the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side".

GRANDPA SIMPSON: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken had crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

REV. IAN PAISLEY: Members of the Orange Chicken Order must exercise their right to cross Catholic roads. If we are stopped by the authorities we will stay here until our eggs hatch.

MR. T: If you saw me coming you'd cross the road too!

JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?

Twenty years ago, this chicken belonged to the organization Chickens for a Better America. My friends, that group is a socialist organization bent on turning America into a communist country. This chicken is a radical that cannot be trusted!

Michael Savage: The chicken is a filthy vermin homosexual communist.

Rush Limbaugh: The real reason why the chicken...hey anybody seen my oxycontin?

Fred Phelps: God hates chickens!
