Madam samuari found these on another BB, and I thought that they were a scream:

Andersen Consulting: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 Anderson 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 synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing 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.



Monty Python: Which chicken? Do you mean a SouthAfrican Chicken or a South African Grey Chicken? It makes a difference, you see, because a South AfricanChicken can carry a coconut on it's back while itcrosses, but a South African Grey Chicken is muchsmaller, and therefore, of course, as a naturalconsequence, cannot carry a coconut...

Albert Einstein: Did the chicken cross the road, ordid the road move under the chicken? It's allrelative, you see.



Sigmund Freud: The chicken obviously was female and obviously interpreted the pole on which the crosswalksign was mounted as a phallic symbol of which she wasenvious, selbstverstaendlich.

William Faulkner: A slight hesitation perhaps mayhave prevented, or, at least, lessened the disasterthat ensued, and might even have produced an outcomethat would have resulted in a safe crossing, had thechicken, perhaps, not abandoned all thought ofpossible consequences, even though none could predictthe end that came to be.

Dr. Seuss:
They wish to be on the other side.
This is a fact they do not hide.
This is a fact.
This is so true.
Crossing roads is what chickens do.
What is there?
They do not know.
They want to know,
therefore, they go.

Karl Marx:To escape the bourgeois middle-classstruggle.

Bill Gates:It doesn't matter since I'll soon own thechicken, the road and the air you're breathing to askthe question.

Basil Fawlty: Oh, don't mind that chicken. It's fromBarcelona.

Darth Vader: Never underestimate the power of thedark side of the road
 
MrBates: The chicken wanted to prove to the armadillo it could be done.
 
Those must be REALLY old chicken jokes. Andersen Consulting became "Accenture" awhile ago. Remember all those commercials during the Super Bowl that made no sense? That was them!
 
hehe....it's a new joke. Everyone still knows who Andersen Consulting is.....but nobody knows Accenture yet.
 
Plato:For the greater good.

Karl Marx:It was a historical inevitability.

Machiavelli:So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained.

Hippocrates:Because of an excess of black bile and a deficiency of choleric humour.

Jacques Derrida:Any number of contending discourses may be discovered within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial intent can never be discerned, because structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!

Thomas de Torquemada:Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.

Timothy Leary:Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take.

Douglas Adams:Forty-two.

Nietzsche:Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you.

B.F. Skinner:Because the external influences which had pervaded its sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own free will.

Carl Jung:The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.

Jean-Paul Sartre:In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.

Ludwig Wittgenstein:The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being which caused the actualization of this potential occurrence.

Albert Einstein:Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Aristotle:To actualize its potential.

Buddha:If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature.

David Hume:Out of custom and habit.

Salvador Dali:The Fish.

Darwin:It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.

Emily Dickinson:Because it could not stop for death.

Epicurus:For fun.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

Johann von Goethe:The eternal hen-principle made it do it.

Ernest Hemingway:To die. In the rain.

Werner Heisenberg:We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast.

Jack Nicholson:'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored) reason.

Pyrrho the Skeptic:What road?

The Sphinx:You tell me.

Henry David Thoreau:To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow out of life.

Howard Cosell:It may very well have been one of the most astonishing events to grace the annals of history. An historic, unprecedented avian biped with the temerity to attempt such an herculean achievement formerly relegated to homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurrence.

Ronald Reagan:I forget.

Mark Twain:The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

Zeno of Elea:To prove it could never reach the other side.

Sir Edmund Hillary:Because it was there.

Horatio Lord Nelson:It saw no trucks.

Julius Ceasar:It came, it saw, it conquered.

Elizabeth I:Though it had the weak and feeble body of a barn-yard fowl it had the heart and stomach of an eagle. Aye, and an English eagle too.
