This question has been keeping me for many a night and know I have several answers to loose sleep over.

Question: Why did the chicken cross the road?

Answers:

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 it
is against us. There is no middle ground here.

AL GORE: I invented the chicken. I invented the road.
Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the
application of these two different functions of Government
in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services
to the American people.

RALPH NADER: The chicken's habitat on the original side
of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed.
The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other
side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of
a gas guzzling SUV.

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

RUSH LIMBAUGH: I don't know why the chicken crossed
the road, but I'll bet it was getting a Government grant to cross
the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already forming a
support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome.
Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans
take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and
when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the
Government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross.

MARTHA STEWART: No one called 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!

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I have a dream that one day 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.

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 crossing roads in peace.

VOLTAIRE: I may not agree with what the chicken did, but I
will defend to the death its right to do it.

CAPTAIN KIRK:To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

BILL GATES: I have just released e-Chicken 2003, which will not
only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents,
and balance your checkbook and Internet Explorer is an inextricable
part of e-Chicken.
