The chicken crossed the road to get away from the farmer. Unfortunately, it got hit by a car and everyone had a good dinner. We care because we wanna eat. The only thing is that the farmer poisened it before it crossed the road. It was dying slowly.

John Cleese:
This Chicken is no more. It has ceased to function. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It's a stiff. If it wasn't nailed to the road it'd be pushing up daisies. It's snuffed it. It's metabolic processes are now history. It's bleeding demised. It's rung down the curtain, shuffled off the mortal coil and joined the bleeding Choir Invisible. This is an Ex-Chicken. Ergo, it did not cross the road.
