Why did the chicken cross the road?

Why did the chicken cross the road? The simple answer would be: to get to the other side! Isn't that why any one, person or animal, would want to cross a road?

Let's think about this for a minute. Ehh... no, let's not. So many others have already thought for us. Here are some of them with their own version of what is, should be or must be the answer.

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..." .









ANDERSON COOPER - 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 truth? 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 white washes 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."

Uh oh, I am getting pretty confused here. I do have one question though.
Why did that stupid chicken have to cross the road? She should have stayed where she was. That would never have brought up this question!
