The Eternal Question

First in a continuing series...

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

A: As for the ambulatory chicken, a lot depends on the creature’s motivation at the time (instinct, really, but some chickens seem so human), the context or premise that sets up the punchline, and many possible word plays that produce risibility at the close of the answer.

(Attributed to Patrick Coffin)
