Why did the chicken cross the road?
I was talking to Tiffi this morning and I asked her if she knew why the chicken crossed the road.
She proceeded to tell me that the question first appeared in The Knickerbocker, a New York City
magazine. An 1847 issue mentioned it as an example of a quip that might
seem like a riddle but is in fact a straightforward and unfunny
solution–an example of anti-humor:
“...There
are ‘quips and quillets’ which seem actual conundrums, but yet are none. Of
such is this: ‘Why does a chicken cross the street? Are you ‘out of town?’ Do
you ‘give it up?’ Well, then: ‘Because it wants to get on the other side!’”
It's also mentioned in Wikipedia along with the history and variations here. Our typical answer has always been "To get to the other side!" right?
Further searching on Google, I found this cute cartoon.
Tiffi just whispered in my ear.............................
So guys, does anyone have any good Chicken Cross the Road jokes to post here? Or it just be any good chicken jokes.

Here's a chicken joke.
A man was driving along a freeway when he noticed a chicken running alongside his car.
He was amazed to see the chicken keeping up with him, as he was doing 50 mph.
He accelerated to 60, and the chicken stayed right next to him.
He sped up to 75 mph, and the chicken passed him.
The man then noticed that the chicken had three legs. So, he followed the chicken down a road and ended up at a farm.
He got out of his car and saw that all the chickens had three legs. He asked the farmer, "What's up with these chickens?"
The farmer said, "Well, everybody likes chicken legs, so I bred a three-legged bird. I'm going to be a millionaire."
The man asked him how they tasted.
The farmer replied, "Don't know, haven't caught one yet."
