Why did the Chicken cross the road?

[Moonbat]

WDTCCTR?

She was dodging pullets

(pullet being a young Hen)

WDTCCTD?

She had been taught to: ****, Chook and Capon

(sorry that was bad, ****= male Chicken, Chook = Australian for Chicken and Capon = a castrated ****. It was a pun on Stop, look and listen)

"Whaddayamean, you t'ink we no good trail guides?" said the first man and he immediately took off his coat and began pummelling the chicken.

But the chicken was well versed in the art of Kentucky Thai Boxing and beat the man to a gibbering pulp in no time.

"You want some? You want to take me on?" the chicken said, glowering at the other scout.

The other man ran away, knowing he could be no match for this bird and not wishing to engage in a set-to he had no chance of winning, screaming, "No, don' you set on me, don' you set on meeeee!"

But the chicken followed. He wasn't done yet.

So, why did the chicken cross the road?

To set upon the other guide.

That sounded so much better in my head ...

It did sound better in your head, I heard it when you thought it and I thought it would be alright on the screen, I was wrong, sorry.

I think we're all forgetting that this is all the Romans fault. They built the road and the chicken crossed the road to ask the Romans why they had built a road. They said that it was for her to cross. Then she asked why she had to cross it but they replied that she already had crossed it but then she pointed out that her coop was now on the other side of the road and therefore she would have to cross the road again. The Romans offered to build her another coop on the side of the road that she was on since she had already fulfilled the crossing of said road, but she told them that her eggs were in the coop on the other side of the road. Then social services took her eggs away because she had left them alone to ask the Romans why they had built a road. Then she crossed the road again to go plead with social services to get her eggs back, Therefore the questi9on is not "Why did the chicken cross the road?" It is "Why did the chicken cross the roads?"

To see what was on the other side (it was a medium chicken)

OR

To see what was on the other side (someone took her telly across the street)

OR

To get to the other side (there was a lot of traffic and the poor chicky was feeling suicidal)

WDTCCTR?

Because it didn't live in a parallel universe?

[Interference]

Lateral thinking.

[zaelyel]

WDTCCTR?

Because it thought the other side was greener.

[Ursa major]

WDTCCTR?

After being stuck in a small cage, it wanted to run flat out?

[The Ace]

Sorry, I have to say it;

To avoid the chicken-sh*gg*r.

[Interference]

To go to a hen party.

Cos she saw Rooster Cockburn.

To avoid walking on egg shells.

To try a different side walk.

She was feeling plucky.

OR clucky.

She wanted to cross a little feather.

Cos she's a chick. They always do just whatever they want, whatever you tell them about the dangers ....

Now it is well known that birds have very good eyesight. You only have to look at the owls, falcons and eagles can do when seeking out prey to realise they are superb when it comes to these sorts of activity.

What may not be so widely known is that chickens have even keener sight and furthermore some of the best hearing on the planet. They can hear a worm underground for ten feet through solid rock and even soft sand.

It is for this reason that the oft humble, southern fried friend has been known to 'hunt' these delicacies. They usually start before dawn before the c*ck gets up to his antics. So, carefully and methodically you will see sometimes whole coops of hens searching listening for the tasty morsels. These hunts occasionally take the hens into dangerous territory quite close to the main road. Now in the twilight of dawn it is unwise for a chicken to start excavating his way down to a worm. The time involved would put them in danger of serious injury from the odd passing articulated lorry and the cure for this is for the chicken to mark the spot where the worm is in order that they can return later to investigate the possibility of a worm hiding in the ground. The traditional method is for the chicken to mark the spot with an 'X' or cross as some might say. Later following their dalliances with the c*ck they return and this is the irony of the situation because obviously the first or early chickens are the ones that usually get to the worm first much to the chagrin of the ones that actually found the worms. The selfish first comer's can be heard deriding their fellow feathered friends and this is where the phrase 'c*ck-a-hoot' is also derived.

* Offers chicken leg. * Pullet!

WDTCCTR?

To reach the central reservation. (Would you believe it was a Tandoori chicken? )

Now for a fantasy one:

WDTCCTR?

It was prophecy.

[Interference]

A sci-fi one ...

Because its transporter wasn't working.

OR

The farmer was using a tractor beam.

Why did the chick end cross the road?

Only the parson knows....
