    WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?


    PAT BUCHANAN:  To steal a job from decent, hardworking Americans
    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.
    THE BIBLE:  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.
    COLONEL SANDERS:  I missed one?
    L. A. POLICE DEPARTMENT:  Give us five minutes with the chicken and we will find out.
    RICHARD M. NIXON:  The chicken did not cross the road.  I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road.  I don't know any chickens.  I have never known any.
    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!
    ERNEST HEMINGWAY:  To die.  In the rain.
    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.  If someone told us the chicken crossed the road, that was good enough for us.
    ARISTOTLE:  It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
    KARL MARX:  It was a historical inevitability.
    SADDAM HUSSAIN:  This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on the chicken.
    CAPTAIN JAMES T.  KIRK:  To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.
    FREUD:  The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
    EINSTEIN:  Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken.
    BILL GATES:  I have just released Chicken 2000, which will not only cross the road, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, balance your check book, and Explorer is an inextricable part of the operating system.
    BILL CLINTON:  I did not  cross the road with that  chicken.

    Things parents have learned from their kids:

  • There is no such thing as child-proofing your house
  • A 4 years-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant
  • Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence
  • Plastic toys do not like ovens
  • Quiet does not necessarily mean don't worry
  • A good sense of humor will get you through most problems in life (unfortunately, mostly in retrospect)
  • If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing pound puppy underwear and a superman cape. It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.
  • When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh," it's already too late.
  • Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
  • A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

  • A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq foot house 4 inches deep.
  • Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four year old.

    English Pleas

  • That's the last straw! Now I'll have to use a glass.
  • There's no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
  • English muffins weren't invented in England nor French fries in France.
  • Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
  • We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
  • And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing; grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, two geese. So one moose, two meese? One index, two indices?
  • Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend; that you comb through the annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
  • If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a letter, perhaps you bote your tongue?
  • Sometimes, I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?  Have noses that run and feet that smell?
  • How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?
  • Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Met a sung hero or experienced requited love?
  • Have you ever run into someone who was dis-combobulated, grunted, ruly or peccable? And where are all those people who ARE spring chickens or who would ACTUALLY hurt a fly?
  • You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down; in which you fill in a form by filling out; and in which an alarm clock goes off by going on.
  • English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). "Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?" (Clarence Darrow)
  • That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when you wind up a watch,  you start it, but when you wind up an essay, you end it!
