I was emailed this and found it very amusing. Do you think the celebrity versions of the "Chicken crossing the road" statements are accurate? Some of them I think really are! I hope that you get the same kick out of this that I did. Here they are: DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realise that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before he goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realise how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems. OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens. GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either with us or against us. There is no middle ground here. COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road. GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough. JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace. BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2007, 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 eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#*&&^(C% ........ reboot. ALBERT 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 is your definition of chicken? COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one? Maybe someone has the creativity to come up with some more celebrity or famous people from history versions?

*** Insert name of 'middle of the road politician here' *** Q: Why did the chicken cross only 1/2 the way across the road? A: She wanted to lay it on the line.

Lol. I THINK I know who you are referring to but am not 100% sure. I will leave it open for now until someone else maybe states it and will come back later to confirm if I am right if no-one does. I am trying to come up with one for both McCain and for Obama seeing as these two are the current flavours; but I am also not overly familiar with either of them to a large enough degree for this to be easy. I will keep you posted! Thanks for responding.

No particular politician comes to mind. Mostly I meant all politicians as they really are all middle of the road and seldom 'lay it on the line'. I was expressing contempt for politicians in general.

You should submit your stuff to 'Jay Leno' or someone else like him. Those are funny.

Cool explanations on why a chicken crosses the road here. It is really amusing. GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO: The chicken is sorry. She made a laps of judgement. Have a nice day!

Lol. Very nice! I do know of Arroyo as I lived outside of Manila for a year and a half or so. I think you have captured her spirit well in that one! Thanks for responding.
