the question

this came through the email sometime back. cannot resist putting it up on my blog. i always like this question as the answers are endless. with the US elections coming, one can ask the presidential hopefuls the answer to this question. or ask some other notable personality elsewhere in the world.


but friends, the best answers are still from malaysia (where someone commented, 'there is never a dull moment in Bolehland!") and our neighbour Singapore.

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

Answers from the USA

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!


JOHN MC CAIN:

My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.


HILLARY CLINTON:

When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......


DR. PHIL:

The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I ' m going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.


COLIN POWELL:

Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...


JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
That chicken crossed the road to steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.


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.


GRANDPA:

In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.


ERNEST HEMINGWAY:

To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the "other side". Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side." That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.


ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.


JOHN LENNON:

Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.


BILL GATES:

I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book.

Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C%

.......... reboot.


ALBERT EINSTEIN:

Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?


BILL CLINTON:

I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?


ALGORE:

I invented the chicken!


COLONEL SANDERS:

Did I miss one?


DICK CHENEY:

Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens

 from the reb:


Khairy: Chicken cross the road? Did it first get permission from the 4th Floor boys?

Ahamd Ismail: That's no chicken. It is a 'pendatang' trying to squat illegally on our side of the road.


Badawi: (Today)  I am surprised the chicken chose to cross the road. It angered the chickens on the other side. (Tommorrow) I am angry that the chicken crossed the road. I already told it not to cross the road. (The day after tommorrow) I checked with the chicken. It said it is ok for it to cross the road. (Two days after tommorrow) I want the chicken to apologize for crossing the road....
