Why DID the chicken cross the road?
I'm sure he meant it as a joke but our greek friend asked it, so its free time to be silly.

Common Sense : An Independent's View
This discussion site is intended to allow independents, moderates and undecideds to sift through the rhetoric coming from the campaigns so that we may make an informed choice. As such, anyone is welcome to post their views. However, incivility, such as insults (including labeling someone 'conservative' or 'liberal' as a slur) will not be tolerated. I suggest if you want to convince us, then your arguments should be well reasoned.

Politically, I describe myself as a radical moderate. This is a joke to indicate that my views tend to be extreme on both sides, but when taken all together I must be in the middle.

To prove to the skunk that it could be done!
Now i can't get THAT song out of my head:(
There used to be a whole list of answers to this question going around the internet in the mid-nineties. Does anyone else remember that? It had answers of famous people throughout history. Hold on....I bet I have a hard copy in my filing cabinet here. :-)
OK, here it is. It's a long list, but let me write a few to remind everyone....
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Plato: For the greater good.
Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability
Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.
Timothy Leary: Because that is the only kind of trip the establishment would let it take.
Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the road, the road gazes also acorss you.
OK, you get the idea. If anyone needs a copy of this list, let me know. The whole thing is very funny.
is this list on the net?
I just looked on Google and there are indeed a zillion lists, and none of them are exactly the same. Some are much better than others.
I recall when I was initially forwarded a version of the list (probably around 1993), I added several of my own ideas before forwarding it on and deleted several that sounded silly to me. :-) I later received a different version of the list a few years later.
That's the beauty to things like that. Things evolve, things devolve, and then they evolve again. It's fun. :-)
The chicken was looking for weapons of mass destruction.
Since I support Kerry I can say this:
Why did Kerry cross the road?
To get to the other side, then to go back and then to go back and then to go back and then to go back ...

gecko, what song?

KT, here's a link to the lyrics. I would have sent the first site I liked on google, however a midi version began to play - don't leave your speakers up to high when that happens;< - so, I sent the second best that I found.

Sigh, this is what I get for not checking the site for a day. At least, there was one anti-Bush and one anti-Kerry joke.
Someone should write an anti-Nader joke, so you can delete that too (in the name of fairness.) I don't like Nader--maybe I should think up one. ;)
Okay, I'll bite.
Because he thought the right side was the far left.

Because the tree was there.
(I may have this wrong, but isn't he the guy who used to eat trees?)

I thought everyone might enjoy this tongue in cheek article about the axis of evil. Have a look at it, and if you don't agree, delete.
It's not partisan and makes fun of everyone and everything :-)
