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....

There was a time when he walked up to a live mike, (he thought was turned off and said something about startting to bomb the Rusians in 10 minutes.
Then again there is a theory his unpredictably behavior scared the Soviet Union into "surrender".

Bill Murray: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Platoon: Too get from the left to the right.
Stepped out of rank,
Got hit by a tank.
He aint a chicken no more, Sir!

One more before this thread sinks into the darknes where it belongs.

ARTHUR ANDERSEN CONSULTANT: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Andersen consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergy with an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.
