"A chicken at rest will stay at rest. A chicken in motion will cross the road."

course,and just saying....if a partridge crosses the road.....gets a pear tree stuck up his butt.

okjimm said...

pffffftttt.... I like calculating the madness of people.....sure beats calculating the number of dumb chickens run over in the road.

okjimm said...

and....a turkey will only cross the road.....if it is the chicken's day off.

Shaw Kenawe said...

okjimm the more you write the more chance the turkey has of crossing the road and getting a pear tree up its butt while the chicken laughs.

And I want to go where the wild goose or the wild turkey takes me.

A chicken walks into a library and says "book book." The librarian gives him two books and he walks away. The next day the chicken walks up to the librarian and said "book book." The librarian wonders what the chicken is doing with the books, so she follows him out the door and to a pond. The chicken held up the books to a frog and the frog said, "Read it. Read it."

"the Republican base is swiftly convincing itself that its nominee can retake the White House without women, Hispanics, blacks, Asians, the young and the educated. The Bubba and borderline psychotic and hardcore-thumper vote will do, indeed it can do, according to crude commoners who mistake a fringe-packed auditorium for the general electorate. "

OK, Octopus......I went into a French restaraunt and asked the waiter, 'Have you got frog's legs?' He said, 'Yes,' so I said, 'Well hop into the kitchen and get me a cheese sandwich.'
