    WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
    ===================================

    DONALD TRUMP: I've been told by my many sources, good sources - they're very good sources - that the chicken crossed the road. All the Fake News wants to do is write nasty things about the road, but it's a really good road. It's a beautiful road. Everyone knows how beautiful it is.

    JOE BIDEN: Why did the chicken do the...thing in the...you know the rest.

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

    BARACK OBAMA: Let me be perfectly clear, if the chickens like their eggs
    they can keep their eggs. No chicken will be required to cross the road to surrender her eggs. Period.

    AOC: Chickens should not be forced to lay eggs! This is because of corporate greed! Eggs should be able to lay themselves.

    HILLARY CLINTON: What difference at this point does it make why the chicken crossed the road.

    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 with us or against us. There is no middle ground here.

    DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?

    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?

    DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that
    he 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 him realize how stupid he is acting by not taking on his current problems before adding any new problems.

    ANDERSON COOPER: 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 he's guilty! You can see
    it in his eyes and the way he walks.

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

    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.

    ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.

    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 for us.

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

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

    COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

    Sean,

    WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
    ===================================

    It was more like the cartoon, where two women neighbors are talking
    across the back fence. One tells the other that "When Henrietta stops
    laying eggs, we'll kill her, and eat her".

    In the next frame, you see Henrietta at the grocery store, and the
    cashier asks "Another two dozen eggs, Henrietta??".

    And, *THAT'S* why the chicken crossed the road!! <BG>

    I got a strong chuckle as well, and shared it with some friends via

    I remember back in the 9th grade, one of my math teachers had this gigantic poster on the wall of about 100 famous people and their responses to "why did the chicken cross the road" ... it made quite an impression on me.

    My favorite is the meme where the 2 ladies are talking, and one notes
    "When Henrietta (their hen) quits laying eggs, we'll kill and eat her".

    In the next picture, you see Henrietta at the grocery store, and the
    cashier asks "Another 2 dozen eggs, Henrietta??".

    Then, the caption "And, THAT'S WHY the chicken crossed the road". <G>

    I remember that comic! It's "The Other Coast" by Adrian Raeside. Here's a link to that specific comic:
