Why
did the chicken cross the road?
Why do chickens cross roads?
The most comprehensive listing on the Web (or so it
should be).

|
Yao-shan:
- On being asked "Why did the chicken cross the road" answered, "A cloud in the sky and water in the jug!"
- The mind and feelings of the chicken frustrates its own proper functioning when it clings deliberately to the world of experience.
The Stupendous Yappi:
- The chicken feels it is not in control of its own destiny. It has feathers - somewhere on its body. It recently laid an egg - or not. <raises eyebrow> Here - it tries to force itself onto the road! But...it cannot cross the road...it is incompetent.
Tasha Yar (Star Trek):
- That depends... was it fully functional?
Molly Yard:
- It was a hen!
Boris Yeltsin:
- It was tottering across and no one knows whether it was because of poor health or too much Vodka.
Yoda (Star Wars):
- Crossing the road makes not a chicken great.
- Roads? What do you know of roads? For 800 years have I trained chickens; my own counsel I will keep on why they cross!
- This chicken, long time have I watched. Always looking away to the crossing of the road! Never his mind on WHERE HE WAS! Allante! Hah! El Dorado! Hmph! A chicken has not use for things such as these.
- Do not under-estimate the powers of the road, or suffer the butcher's block you will!
- Across this road the chicken must go.
- Good side and evil side decide the chicken must.
- The future of this chicken clouded is.
Theodoric of York, the Medieval Barber:
- Because of an imbalance of bodily humors caused by an elf or small toad living in the chicken's stomach. What this fowl needs is a good bleeding.
Henny Youngman:
- Take this chicken ... please.
