| 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. |
| Alvin Toffler: |
Because the chicken was suffering from
future shock.(Barbara Llorente) |
| Timothy Leary: |
Because that's the only kind of trip
the Establishment would let it take |
| John Locke: |
Because it was exercising its natural
right to liberty. |
| COLIN POWELL: |
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the
satellite image . . of the chicken crossing the road... |
| 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. |
| Jean-Paul Sartre: |
In order to act in good faith and be true to
itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road. |
| Howard Cosell: |
It may very well have been one of the most
astonishing events to grace the annals of history. An historic, unprecedented avian biped
with the temerity to attempt such an Herculean achievement formerly relegated to homo
sapiens pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurrence. |
| 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. |
| 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 LENNON: |
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads
together, in peace. |
| John F. Kennedy |
Er ist ein Roadcrosser |
| 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. |
| Salvador Dali: |
The Fish. |
| The Bible: |
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. |
| 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. |
| Oliver Stone |
It was a government conspiracy.
(Barbara Llorente) |
| Sirs William Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan: |
To verify through measurement and research
explorational, Asserted widths and properties of highways transportational. And thus
through brain and intellect did prove itself, this animal, To be the very model of a
modern chicken-general. |
| E.O. Wilson: |
Under the influence of a road-crossing gene,
selected because it conferred a survival advantage in the chicken's ancestral line. We
could conjecture, for example, that crossing roads represents the transfer of a behavioral
trait whereby some chickens sought to distance themselves from rivals, thereby
distinguishing them in the eyes of potential mates and increasing their reproductive
potential. |
| Sir Edmund Hillary: |
Because it was there. |
| Mark Twain: |
The news of its crossing has been greatly
exaggerated. |
| JERRY FALWELL: |
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people
see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the
"other side." 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 whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other
side." That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and
simple as that! |
| Sigmund Freud: |
As an expression of the repressed
desire to have sex with its mother. The road symbolizes the barrier presented by the
cultural taboo. |
| Carl Jung: |
The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt
necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and
therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being. |
| Johnny Cochran: |
The chicken didn't cross the road. Some
chicken-hating, genocidal, lying public official moved the road right under the chicken's
feet while he was practicing his golf swing and thinking about his family. |
| Darwin: |
It was the logical next step after
coming down from the trees. |
| John Wayne: |
'Cause a chicken's gotta do what a chicken's gotta
do. |
| Richard M. Nixon: |
The chicken did not cross the road. I
repeat, the chicken did not cross the road. This isn't about roads and chickens. I don't
think you quite understand that what you believe I may have meant isn't what you think I
said. |
| F. Lee Bailey: |
The question is not "Why did the
chicken cross the road?" but is rather "Who was crossing the road at the same
time and who did we overlook in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?" |
| 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?" |
| Machiavelli: |
So that its subjects will view it with admiration,
as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with
fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue?
In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained. |
| Pat Buchanan: |
To steal a job from a decent,
hard-working American. |
| Louis Farrakhan: |
The road, you will see, represents the
black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep
him down. |
| Martin Luther King, Jr.: |
I envision a world where all chickens
will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question. |
| Bill Gates: |
I have just released eChicken2006, which will
not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and
balance your checkbook. Internet xplorer is an integral part of eChicken.
This new platform is much more stable and will never cra... #@&&;^( C \ ....

| Bill Clinton: |
I did not, and I repeat, I did not have sexual relations with that chicken! |
| Hippocrates: |
Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in
its pancreas. |
| Perry Mason |
I don't know, but I intend to find
out. Della, get Paul on the phone for me. (Becca Love) |
| Marlin Perkins |
While Jim wrestles the chicken across
the road I'll be taking a nap here in the tent. (Blackbeard) |
| Stevie Wonder |
Chicken, what chicken? (Becca Love) |

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. |
| Aristotle: |
Because one chicken cannot be more
chicken than another. |
| Nietzsche: |
The chicken crossed the road, but it
will take time for the consequences of the chicken's actions to be felt by the common
chicken.(Barbara Llorente) |
| Jean Chrétien |
Da chicken crossed da road because 'e 'ad da plan.
(Bert Christensen) |
| Former President George Bush |
To face a kinder, gentler
thousand points of headlights. |
| 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. |
| Current President George W. Bush |
It will be a long crossing that is for sure, and we ask all pedestrians and automobiles for their patience as it crosses the road. But make no mistake about it, it WILL cross the road! It will prevail! |
| Albert Einstein: |
Whether the chicken crossed the road
or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference. |

transcended it. |

It was a historical inevitability. |

To purify the chicken race. |

I don't care. Catch it. I need its
eggs to make my omelette. |
| Dr. Seuss: |
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did she cross it with a toad?
Yes, the chicken crossed the road.
But why she crossed, I've not been told! |
| O.J. Simpson |
It didn't. I was playing golf with it
at the time. |
| Osama bin Laden |
To strike at the heart of the infidels. Praise be to Allah!
(Jaco Strauss) |
| Colonel Sanders: |
I missed one? |
| NANCY GRACE: |
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can
see it in his eyes and the way he walks. (A male chicken???) |
| Buddha: |
Therefore, on the road there is no chicken, no
road, nor perception of the road, nor impulse to cross it, nor consciousness of the road,
no feathers, no beak, no clawed feet, no chicken. No road no chicken no crossing... only
the great prajnaparamita of the empty form of chicken and the empty form of the road, and
that emptiness; gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond. "But, O
Buddha," said Sariputta, "what is that crossing the road before us at this
moment?" And the great One replied,"A chicken, Sariputta." "But why, O
great One, does it cross the road?" "To get to the other side,
Sariputta." Om. |
| Arthur O. Andersen Consultant: |
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 transportation 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 continuum 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 chicken change to become more successful.
But, we will never know because the chicken was shredded
before it reached the other side.

| 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. |
