WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

I don't even get the Ronald Reagan reference... must be because he was elected 3 years before I was born!

Like the pervert one though

I did edit out the more offensive ones. The Ronald Reagan one slipped by.
FYI youngster... Mr. Reagan suffered from Alzhiemer later in life. It was in bad taste.

I don't think the Reagan one was a poke at his disease but his "reputation" of being unaware of what was going on around him while in office. I think the reputation was undeserved, but I didn't take the joke as offensive.

What about Heisenberg's Chicken?
You can't measure precisly when it crossed the road without changing the result somewhat.

Doesn't really answer the question of why though.

EDIT: Heh, somehow I missed your Heisenberg one in the list. oops.

These jokes are very old, and pops up every other year. The net is full of them.

The Ronald Reagan joke has probably been around since he was the president, which either makes it very funny or even more tragic.

Some more oldies:

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.

ADOLF HITLER:
Because it was his racial destiny to expand his Chickensraum.

ZSA ZSA GABOR:
It probably crossed to get a better look at my legs, which thank goodness are good, dahling.

TIMOTHY LEARY:
Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take

Re: Reagan and fuzzy memories (including my own). The Reagan reference undoubtedly came from the Iran-Contra hearings from the mid-80's. Most times when he was asked about the events of the scandal, his response was along the lines of 'I do not recall.' 'Course, I was in middle school at the time, so I could be mistaken....
