From the Internet

I ran across this yesterday and thought it was really cute. My favorite answers are Dr. Seuss' and Grandpa's. Which one is your favorite?


Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

Pat Buchanan
To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.

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?

L. A. Police Department
Give us five minutes with the chicken and we'll find out.

Richard M. Nixon
The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road. I don't know any chickens. I have never known any chickens.

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.

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 an historical inevitability.

Saddam Hussein
This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in 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?

Machiavelli
The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

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 Chicken Coop 98, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book — and Explorer is an inextricable part of the operating system.

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

Political Funny

You may or may not have noticed, but I generally don't talk politics on my web page or my blog. Because I prefer not to have people beat me in the head with their beliefs and I assume that most everyone feels the same way, I refrain from using my business as a bully pulpit. My attitude has always been that as long as you're voting - regardless of WHO you vote for, we're cool. While I might not agree with you, I absolutely respect your right to choose.

All that said, I had to post the above link to JibJab's satirical election cartoon. Tilly saw it at school and told me about it (they're closely following both candidates' campaigns and the election process in her social studies class.). I wanted to share it because: 1. I think it's funny. 2. I feel as though it skewers all candidates equally. 3. I've got this song running on a continuous loop in my head and I think you should too! *wink*
