The Chicken Crossed the Road and Died. MIND = BLOWN
The old age question of “Why did the chicken cross the road?” means something so new to me now. So I was loitering in Tumblr when I came across:
At first, I was all “I still don’t get it.” But that’s because I’m slow. So Bassey explained to me. and said “a chicken crossing the road would most likely get hit by a car and die. That is the ‘other side.'”
*repeats to myself* Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.
What? WAYMENT! SO IT COMMITTED SUICIDE??? Because why else would it cross the road if it knows it’s gonna get hit by a car???
So all my life, this chicken’s been asking for help. It was pretty much done with life and wanted to get dropkicked through the goalposts. It crossed the road to get to the “other side.” HAY ZEUS! Life has changed as I know it.
Don't do it, chicken. It ain't worf it!
Now I’m all verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. Topic: why, despite this knowledge, is chicken still so delicious?
Bassey said she’ont think the chicken committed suicide. That chickens are just stupid. Iunno man… whatcha’ll think? Did your whole life just turn topsy turvy?
P.S. No I’m not under the influence of any drugs. Unless orajel counts.

How much medicine have you taken for your tooth ache???
But that picture though!? ______/\_/\____________________________________________________________________
Your comment is perfect…*lying down to die*
NO!!!!!!!!!! That ain’t even no joke no more. I always hated that because people would ask and I would just give them the O___O *blink twice*. So I guess the chickens would prefer roadkill over kfc??? Dang you just ruined my entire life space with this revelation. I feel sorry for the chicken……but I will have me a two-piece lata!!!!
I went through this yesterday…felt like my world had been shaken at it’s core. Made me question everything I ever believed in life…
I went through this yesterday…felt like my world had been shaken at it’s core. Made me question everything I ever believed in life… How could I not have gotten this my WHOLE life?????
Slow day huh Luvvie
I don’t even know what to think of the world anymore!
Chicken, it gets better!!!
lol!!!! this wouldn’t be happening if chicken had a sassy gay friend!
HAHAHAHAHA
“Oh chicken, you’re being a stupid bitch!” Lol.
I guess he would wanna go on his own terms…I mean imagine the torture of all those KFC , Popeyes, and Bojangles everywhere. Looking at easter eggs talmbout “You got off easy” …. seeing how Dr.Kevorkian cant speak chicken…what else could he have done?????
It must be hard. To be so delicious and easy to keep in a coop. If you saw how your life would end by seeing so many of your friends & family running around with their heads cut off, being hit by a car might seem like an empowering alternative.
CHICKEN JUST WANTS A LIFE! CHICKEN JUST WANTS TO MAKE SOME DECISIONS!
I just found the meaning of life with this post. ::continues gnawing on chicken wings::
you! have just kilt me …
i’m sorry, but i don’t believe chickens are that deep. deep fried? hell yeah…deep in thought….nah!
LOL Super mad late post but Luvvie I came accross this post ‘loitering’ on your site and hit the thumbnail below yr latest post and YES, my mind was blown too.
But to paintgurl, maybe the chicken ain’t a chicken. Ionno, Maybe some punkarse giver-upper just said stop the world, let me off and THEY really are the chicken.
I’m Just philosophizin on some chicken…
damn, U are not the only one in the same boat. Thanks for breaking this down because I never got the meaning of this joke neither. At least the chicken gets to spend a nice, quiet afterlife fried, seasoned and sitting right in my belly.
All. My. Life.
All my life I’ve been wondering why this was interesting… and why people kept saying it! OMG! The chicken… *puts on black veil and weeps in front of Bojangles*
Y’all are so dumb. Like, y’all are really dumb. For real. *In my Antoine Dodson voice*
I know right we so dumb. I’m mad at myself…
I feel like before the chicken crosses the road, it screams out “WHAT THESE HUMANS REALLY WANT FROM A CHICKEN!? SOMEBODY LET ME KNOW!” *marches into traffic*
Well the joke was first printed in 1847, well before cars were common.
As you come here w/ facts, logics and reasoning. 🙂
Horse and Carts were around
But the chicken DID cross the road. From a point to another.
The really mindblowing/disturbing part is that “chicken” is another word for “coward,” and the joke is actually about a human.
Had this realization on a bus. But the source quote wikipedia proviedes implies that wasn’t the intent of the original joke:
” The first known printing of this riddle was in 1847, in The Knickerbocker, a New York City monthly magazine:[1]
…There are ‘quips and quillets’ which seem actual conundrums, but yet are none. Of such is this: ‘Why does a chicken cross the street?[’] Are you ‘out of town?’ Do you ‘give it up?’ Well, then: ‘Because it wants to get on the other side”
