>>WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

>>THOMAS PYNCHON

Proverbs for Chickens, 1: You may never get to touch the Master, but you 
can cross his roads.

Proverbs for Chickens, 2: The innocence of the chicken is in inverse 
proportion to the width of the road.

Proverbs for Chickens, 3: If they can get you crossing the wrong roads, 
they don't have to worry about you arriving anywhere.

Proverbs for Chickens, 4: You cross, they toss.

Chickens are not chickens (Proverb 5) because they're chickens, but 
because they keep trying, fucking idiots, to cross the road.
