Here are many different answers for the age old question: Why did the chicken cross the road?

## 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.

## JACQUES CHIRAC

The chicken has rights, mais oui? We care not whether the chicken crosses the road since we will claim her eggs regardless of on which side of the road she lays them. n'est pas? Should les Americains succeed in seizing them, we shall insist on coq au yin!

## TONY BLAIR

It is clear to Her Majesty's govemment that the chicken has disguised and hidden her eggs, which, under extraordinary circumstances, particularly on Ai Hallow's E'en, can certainly be used as weapons of mass destruction

## COLIN POWELL

Now at the left of the screen, you clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

## HANZ BLIX

We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.

## MOHAMMED ALDOURI (Iraq ambassador)

The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We don't even have a chicken.

## SADDAM HUSSEIN

This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

## SADDAM HUSSEIN (cont.)

## 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. hard-working 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 farmers market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.

## JERRY FALWELL

Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what 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?

## 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!

## DR. SEUSS (cont.)

## ERNEST HEMINGWAY

To die. In the rain. Alone.

## 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.

## 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.

## ARISTOTLE

It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

## KARL MARX

It was an historical inevitability.

## VOLTAIRE

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

## RONALD REAGAN

What chicken?

## CAPTAIN 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?

## SIGMUND 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 eChicken 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 eChicken.

## ALBERT EINSTEIN

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

I missed one?
