FARRELL TILL
The chicken never crossed the road, in fact, the chicken never existed in the first place. Just because 500 people claimed to have seen the chicken cross the road and several bothered to record the event in their diaries, is no proof that the said event really took place. The bird poop, found near the alleged point of crossing, may or may not be chicken poop. We would have to subject it to intense analysis to determine if it indeed came from the butt of a chicken. But even if it did come from a chicken, this is no proof that the chicken, who deposited the poop, actually crossed the road. It could very easily (and probably did) have gone up to the edge of the road, took a dump, and turned around, never having crossed the road. Just because there is a chicken now living by itself on the other side of the road, and a chicken farm located opposite, is no proof that it crossed the road to get there. Personally, I think that deceptive fool, Holding, arranged for that chicken to be dropped from a helicopter, just to make it appear that it had crossed the road.
My expertise as an English teacher tells me that the chicken didn't cross the road. This is an urban myth based on a racoon, which did cross the road, many years prior to the development of this chicken fairy tale. Any dufus who persists in the belief that the chicken crossed the road is a [expletive deleted] moron. There is no proof, whatsoever, that this event took place.
