Why did the chicken cross the road?

GEORGE W. BUSH
I don't think I should have to answer that question.
 
AL GORE
I invented the chicken. I invented the road.
Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people.
 
RALPH NADER
The chickens habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV.
 
 PAT BUCHANAN
To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.
 
JERRY FALWELL
Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious?
Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side".
"That's what 'they' call it-the "other side."
Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side."
 
 DR. SEUSS
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes, The chicken crossed the road,
But why it crossed, I've not been told!

ERNEST HEMINGWAY
To die. In the rain. Alone.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
 
GRANDPA
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road.  Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.

BARBARA WALTERS
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it overcame a serious case of molting and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON
Imagine all the chickens crossing roads in peace.
 
ARISTOTLE
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

KARL MARX
It was a historical inevitability.

SADDAM HUSSEIN
This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

VOLTAIRE
I may not agree with what the chicken did, but I will defend to the death its right to do it.

RONALD REAGAN
What chicken?
 
CAPTAIN KIRK
To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.
 
FREUD
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
 
BILL GATES
I have just released eChicken 2003, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook -- and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken 2003.
 
EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken.
What do you mean by chicken?
Could you define chicken please?
 
 LOUIS FARRAKHAN
The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down.
 
THE BIBLE
And God came down from the heavens, and He said Unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road" And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

I missed one?
