road, and that the chicken that crosseth the road doth so for its own
preservation.

justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

road.

Martin Luther King: It had a dream.

James Tiberius Kirk: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

Leda: Are you sure it wasn't Zeus dressed up as a chicken?  He's into that
kind of thing, you know.

needed the eggs.

canna work miracles, Captain!

of life.

Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

George Washington: Actually it crossed the Delaware with me back in 1776.
But most history books don't reveal that I bunked with a birdie during the
duration.

Ayn Rand: It was crossing the road *because of its own rational choice to
do so* There cannot be a collective unconscious; desires are unique to
each individual.

James Joyce: Once upon a time a nicens little chicken named baby tuckoo
crossed the road and met a moocow coming down...

James Joyce: To forge in the smithy of its soul the uncreated conscience
of its race.

Gilligan: The traffic started getting rough; the chicken had to cross. If
not for the plumage of its peerless tail the chicken would be lost. The
chicken would be lost!   (sing that one)
