Why did the chicken cross the road?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Why did the chicken cross the road?" is one of the most famous jokes in the English language. The original reply to the question is: "To get to the other side." It is a non-joke, since its humor value comes from the fact that it is expected to be funny. Additionally, it is rarely told on its own, but instead is referenced, modified, or parodied in a number of other jokes.

Origin
Despite the obvious meaning of the joke, various stories have been published claiming a specific origin for it in actual events.
One such story relates to the meaning of the word chicken as a cowardly person. As the story goes, the town of Shiprock, New Mexico had problems relating to poverty. Some of the poor children would get drunk and cross the road in order to show their bravery. Many times, this resulted in serious injury because of oncoming traffic, and sometimes even death. Knowing that the injured/dead person was a coward (chicken), people asked each other "Why did the chicken cross the road?" The original answer to this question was then "Because he was drunk." [1]
This story, although similar to the present-day joke, does have its validity problems. The original punch line had no resemblence to the present day punch line. Also, the word 'chicken' has multiple definitions, whereas 'coward' or other synonyms only have one. Given that, it seems much more likely that the word 'chicken' would stop being used after the event would occur. However, the original punch line was a direct answer to the question given, as is today's punch line. The difference is, today's punch line is in the form of a non-joke, but the original was not intended to be humorous. Although this is the best explanation we have for the origin, nobody truly knows.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

I'd call it a slow news day. I'm not a Christian and don't agree with many of their beliefs but they should be respected as human beings. Most of them truly try to live by their beliefs and do some good in this world.

This isn't a very nice question. You are being a bad example for us non-Christians. You are just giving Christians a reason to be angry!

You're only trying to degrade people by saying something bad about them,because you're trying to make yourself feel/look better than you actually are. It's OK, though becuase everyone knows that's how it is. Besides Jesus forgives you for being ignorant.

Seeing as how you answered your own corny joke there is no need to give an answer.
But i'd say a revival.

It's not very open-minded to generalize that all Christians are bad, just because some of them are preachy dipshits.
