This may have crossed your screens already....

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

ERNEST HEMINGWAY
To die.  In the rain.  Alone.

and continues....

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

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 phrase like the other side.   That
chicken should not be free to cross the road.   It's as plain and simple as
that.

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 envision 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. Someone told us
that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

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

KARL MARX
It was a historical inevitability.

SADDAM HUSSEIN
This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified dropping
50 tons of nerve gas on it.

RONALD REAGAN
What chicken?

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?

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 eChicken 2000, which will not only cross roads, but
will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook and
Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken.

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

BILL CLINTON
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What do you mean by chicken?
Could you define chicken please?

GEORGE W. BUSH
I don't think I should have to answer that question.

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.

THE BIBLE
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.

COLONEL SANDERS
I missed one?
