Spaz: You've got a short memory. We ALWAYS come back to the subject of chickens on this messageboard.

Do a site search of the word "chickens" for several threads. This search doesn't even bring up all the old plucking threads or any of the many references to chickens prior to July.

There's a subgroup of Italian-speaking chickens, too. They figured prominently in selected threads, most of which are now locked.

****** MY APOLOGY AND CLARIFICATION FOR ANY CHICKENS OR CHICKEN LOVERS WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN UNDULY OFFENDED OR BORED ******
This is to clarify my positions on chickens. The old chicken crossed the road joke is a time honored, American tradition that seems to have lost its place in our newer, bolder, more thoughtful society. When this happens, it is up to us to accept these changes without the undue ruffle of feathers. It is with great sorrow that I concede this point.
We shall no longer contemplate the crossing of the chicken, the purpose or motives of its crossing, or the end result of said crossing.
From this point on: We will be satisfied in simply knowing that it has indeed crossed.
What could I have been thinking?

I can't make heads or tails outta the posts here, but I enjoyed the opening post (before it was deleted) & I'm a chicken fancier...
So if were aren't to contemplate why the chicken crossed the road, then how about these?
Why did the gum cross the road?
Cause it was stuck to the chicken's foot!
Why didn't the skeleton cross the road?
No Guts!

The chicken never did cross the road. It was on the road. The chicken crossed the bridge. It had said that it would cross the bridge when it came to it, and it did.

Rancher24 When I opened the thread this a.m. I saw flames in the distance - flashbacks of redneck - I've never deleted a post before but this seemed as good a time as any.
I realize now that I am not a good joke-teller and should stick to serious subject matter.
Speaking of which, KRS I see your post as an attempt to deny the rightful heritage of the chicken. You may not like the idea that the chicken crossed the road. After all these years, we still contemplate and can't say that we honestly understand its reasons - even on public boards. However, to deny that the chicken actually ever crossed the road is an ugly and defamatory re-writing of the well-documented history of the chicken.
And now, mybiddness is going to the beauty shop to get a new do. Heck, I might even get a manicure... really bad mood today with all this disparegment of chicken lore.

mybid...Sorry you felt the flames (maybe it was just the BBQ gettin' ready for grillin')....I enjoyed the chicken post & the redneck post...Guess I'm not the sensitive type!...Don't give up on your jokes, kept in the proper context (eg. JOKES) they are funny!
Have a good time a the beauty shop...Go for the manicure, even a pedicure
In closing, I would like to add the following:
POSSIBLY THE VERY BEST CHICKEN JOKE EVER:
A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the
headboard smoking a cigarette with a satisfied smile on its face, The
egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet and rolls over and says,
"Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question!"

The Chicken
Tis a shame he couldn't stay
Ya sent him on his way
Not worthy of his own thread
He sunk to the bottom instead
T'was jest a little chicken
Yet he took a lickin
The yolks they tweren't bad
But that poor chicken was had
And the chicken police - they was glad.
Good night everyone! 
P.S. Rancher24 You're right - that's the funniest chicken joke I ever heard!

Chicken jokes cause such an uproar? Why? Would Zucchini humor be more correct?
Why did the Zucchini cross the road? It was looking for the Chicken?
Mybiddness;
Here is an idea. Please repost your list of reasons why the chicken crossed the road but replace the word chicken with the word zucchini. Maybe that will quiet the natives and those with a sense of humor can still enjoy a good giggle.

Zucchini live in disdain for roads, Barry, and leave them to the squash.
Don't then ask why the squash crossed the road. It didn't make it, obviously, and it doesn't matter once it's squash.

But did the squashed zucchini taste like chicken?
Or did the road kill zucchini taste like a squashed squash?
I thought everything that can't be described tasted like chicken
This is some thing the world needs to know...

Now you have done it.
You brought pork into it.
The anti-bacon lobby will have to protest.
This may mean the end to sausage as we know it.
