Why did the chicken cross the road?

.... I think that's it is a pointless joke that some people look too far into. There are some people that can take anything and make it really dark, and I think that is a case of that.

 

I'm pretty certain it is just a really old anti-joke.

 

I heard that too.

I like thinking about it the dark way tho.

 

I think I remember reading about that awhile back. Completely blew mind when I realized it. I think it is a cleverly executed "joke". It mirrors how it is to have depression, but to be secretive about it. You can't see the signs unless you look deeply in the "chicken". If there wasn't a need to be secretive about feeling that way, I doubt the creator of the joke would have made it so hard to discern. I hope that makes sense.

This is how different people would answer the question!

 

Assuming that the chicken's path is continuous on the interval [a,b]

The intermediate value theorem is your answer

 

I think this is a question of trying to read much too far into it... I mean, you could say something like this about almost any joke if you try.

Even if it did mean that, the anti joke still stands. The chicken/person still had to reach the other side, and had to cross the road (whatever that may symbolise) to do it.

 

When people tell me this joke, I tend to respond with:

"To get you a better joke."

LOL!

 

My friends and I wrote a joke book in 8th grade about various animals, people and objects crossing the road, including various Harry Potter characters, two ants, Michael Jackson's ghost, an elephant, the Jonas brothers, dinosaurs, Tom and Jerry, some of our then-teachers and the devil. It was pretty funny

 

This is the only thing that pops into my head whenever I hear that joke...

 

It's probably because it's an anti-joke and/or you can make up any answer you want to.

 

:roflmao:

 

I think you're taking it a little too seriously.

 

It's a feminist joke. The chicken is a woman too scared to speak out against the patriarchy, and the road is the glass ceiling.

 

I always thought it was because she saw a hot hen across the street . :icon_bigg

didn't know it was actually about death

 

hahahaha :lol:

 

I dont think you can over think anything really.
The authors intention isn't what matters, it's what the reader (or joker in this case) gets out of the work that really matters.

 

it crossed to make me some road kill nuggies, makes u think....
