Even More Points to Ponder

QUESTION: Why did the chicken cross the road?Possible Answers

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

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.

Fox Mulder
It was a government conspiracy.

Darwin
Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically predisposed to cross roads

Richard M. Nixon
The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road.

Jerry Seinfeld
Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place anyway?"

Martin Luther King, Jr.
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

M.C.Escher
That depends on which plane of reality the chicken was on at the time.

Because the government had fooled him into thinking that he was crossing the road of his own free will, when he was really only serving their interests.

Colonel Sanders
I missed one?

Plato
For the greater good.

Aristotle
To actualize its potential.

Karl Marx
It was a historical inevitability.

B.F. Skinner
Because the external influences, which had pervaded its sensorium from birth, had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own freewill.

Jean-Paul Sartre
In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.

Albert Einstein
Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

The Sphinx
You tell me.

Buddha
If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken nature.

Emily Dickenson
Because it could not stop for death.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

Ernest Hemingway
To die. In the rain.

Dr. Seuss
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes the chicken crossed the road, but why he crossed, I've not been told!

O.J
. It didn't. I was playing golf with it at the time.
