Punchline – IF
Found some good punchlines from the web, thought I illustrate them.
There so many punchline variations for ‘Why did the chicken cross the road?" beside the common "to get to the other side". These are some of my favourites:
Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.
Barack Obama: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!
John Lennon: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
Bill Gates: I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never reboot.
(Note: If you’re the author of these punchlines, please let me know. I’ll give proper credit).
Let me know if you have your own unique punchline to "why did the chicken cross the road?". I’ll put it up in this post and link your name to your website, a free link love. No rules and regulations, this is just for the fun of the crossing chicken.
Here’s mine:
Emila : I dunno, am not the chicken.
Jean Chia : to get away from his mean owner and to a greener pasture!
Cata : the chicken crossed the road because she is going to her yoga class
Sushi : to have a little break from his tantrum thrower chick son
Yan Chai : I think the chicken donβt even know that is the roadβ¦.just walk..walk and walk
Roxychick : because she canβt be staying there forever.. can she?
Mariuca : to get to KFC and visit its cousins!
LadyJava : coz someone has to…
Deano : It was easier than going around it.
Connie Martin : The chicken crossed the road since he thought that the used car lot on the north side was a better bet than the KFC franchise on the south side, where he started out.
Fadhil Isma :
1. Chef Wan : The chicken saw me coming… that’s why she crossed!
2. Pak Lah : Err… did the chicken really cross? I didn’t know about that. Let me check with my Agriculture Minister.
3. TDM : Dia tak seharusnya melintas, bahaya tu… ayam ni mudah lupa.
4. Anwar Ibrahim : Of course the chicken will cros over. I has said so! And there’s no money involved.
5. Chief of Police : It’s alright for the chicken to cross. As long as they don’t assemble more than 5, they are not breaking any laws.
Yours next!

I don’t have my own response to why the chicken crossed the road but may I venture the following replies with local context in mind?
1. Chef Wan : The chicken saw me coming… that’s why she crossed!
2. Pak Lah : Err…. did the chicken really cross? I didn’t know about that. Let me check with my Agriculture Minister.
3. TDM : Dia tak seharusnya melintas, bahaya tu… ayam ni mudah lupa.
4. Anwar Ibrahim : Of course the chicken will cross over. I had said so! And there’s no money involved.
5. Chief of Police : It’s alright for the chicken to cross. As long as they don’t assemble more than 5, they are not breaking any laws.
My apologies for the political nature of the responses. Just that it seems to suit the times…

The chicken crossed the road since he thought that the used car lot on the north side was a better bet than the KFC franchise on the south side, where he started out.
