The answer to life’s most challenging question


Why did the chicken cross the road?

____________________________________________________

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’s acting
by not taking on his “CURRENT” problems before
adding “NEW” problems.

_____ ______ _________________________________________

OPRAH:

Well I understand that the chicken is having
problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so
bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his
mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I’m
going to give this chicken a car so that he can just
drive across the road and not live his life like the
rest of the chickens.

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.

COLIN POWELL:

Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see
the satellite image of the chicken crossing the
road…

ANDERSONCOOPER – 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

JERRY FALWELL:

Because the chicken was gay! Can’t you people see the
plain side.” 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 heart warming story of how it experienced a
serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish
its life long dream of crossing the road.

____________________________________________________

JOHN LENNON:

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

____________________________________________________

ARISTOTLE:

It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

____________________________________________________

BILL GATES:

I have just released eChicken2007, which will not
only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your
important documents, and balance your check book.
Internet Explorer is a integral part of eChicken.
This new platform is much more stable and will never
cra…#@&&^( C .. … reboot.

____________________________________________________

ALBERT 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 is
your definition of chicken?

____________________________________________________

AL GORE:

I invented the chicken!

____________________________________________________

COLONEL SANDERS:

Did I miss one?

____________________________________________________

DICK CHENEY:

Where’s my gun?

_____________________________________________

AL SHARPTON:

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

But here’s another one for you . . .

Why did the frog cross the road?

(scroll down some more)

He was stapled to the chicken. Ba dum dum ting (high hat strike)

Hope you’re able to look at the lighter side of life today and enjoy!

Oh, the Humanity!!!


Why, oh, why do they keep letting Nicole Kidman ruin perfectly good films? Can someone explain this to me? It’s bad enough when she appears in first-run pictures with the likes of her former husbandlet Tom Cruise, who I can’t stand anyway. Then she goes and appears beside George Clooney, spoiling any chance of me getting my drool on (my mind keeps thinking what kind of dufus must he be to like Nicole Kidman! Ack! The bomb had more of a personality than she did). But now she’s got the nerve to try to remake one of my all time favorite movies The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. That thought is scarier than the concept of the movie. How will the audience know the difference between Kidman before the bodysnatchers get her and afterward? She’s not exactly a bundle of emotions from the get go. On top of that, she’s got to ruin my ubercrush on Bond hunk Daniel Craig on top of it? Will the torture never end???

Oddly, the only movie I liked her in was the one where she was a ghost who’d killed her children. Seemed sort of fitting. Ah well, Netflix can keep that new bodysnatchers when it comes out.
