 Why did the chicken cross the road?

I thought this question would grab your attention. You really want to know why the chicken crossed the road don’t you? I’m afraid that the answer is not straight-forward.... as you are about to see.

(I think there are some parallels in the way we try to answer spiritual questions - that's why I am posting this.)

Feel free to add more possible answers – either from others, or from yourself.

[b][size=large][color=CC9900]Why did the chicken cross the road?[/color][/size][/b]

Kindergarten Teacher: To get to the other side.

Plato: For the greater good.

Aristotle: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

Karl Marx: It was an historical inevitability.

Timothy Leary: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take.

Saddam Hussein: It was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on that chicken.

Ronald Reagan: I forgot.

Captain James T. Kirk: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

Hippocrates: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.

Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Moses: 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.

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

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

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

Ellen: Chickens should be able to do whatever they please. So it's a little funny. It's their bodies, let them do what they want. If they want to get run over by a mack truck, what is that to you?

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 the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

Oliver Stone: The questions is not, Why did the chicken cross the road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our hast to observe the chicken crossing?"

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

Buddha: Asking this questions denies your own chicken nature.

Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

Colonel Sanders: I missed one?

Andersen Consulting: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross- spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Andersen consultants with deep skills in the transporation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park- like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the chick change to become more successful.

My answer: The chicken was probably unconscious of its true heart motive. It was merely following the trends of chicken society, oblivious to the danger of its choices. We can learn about our own sin nature by studying the chicken, and that ultimately will help us see our need to remain under the authority of the Spirit –so we won’t impulsively make such stupid and dangerous choices.


Your answer:

 Re: Why did the chicken cross the road?

the fact that the chicken crossed the road shows how the Father was taking care of it and as Jesus says we are better than the fowls so we should not be concerend with why the chicken crossed the road and more with seeking the Kingdom of God and we too will be able to cross the road

as in matthew 6:24-33;-)

 Re:

The Chicken crossed the road to conquer his fear of roads. (Secretly he loathed his own chicken nature.)

Unless other chickens repent, they will likewise cross the road.

 Re:

The Lord said, "Chicken. Chicken." Get up from your side of the road and cross over to the otherside. I will give that side of the road to you and your descendants. But first you must drive out the opossums and the snakes. Do not be afraid of them and do not do as they do. I have set you apart from them.
