Why did the chicken cross the road??? This is an old one, with a few new entries. When my dad played this one on me, he delighted to say, "To get to the other side." Ha, ha. But leave it to the professionals to interpret. In the compilation below, there are too many authors to attribute - indeed I don't know most of them.

The pleasure of this piece is in the humor of extravagant interpretations in philosophy, politics, physics, mathematics, and sociology. Aristotle: To actualize its potential. Plato: For the greater good. Sir Isaac Newton: Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to cross the road Sigmund Freud: The fact that you thought that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity. Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you. Martin Luther King: It had a dream
