Workplace Romance, Part II
Well, the village elders have interceeded and apparently she (um, Dave has that motif patented, I'll have to think of something else to designate sista girl - suggestions?) is game for an introduction, so introductions will be made tomorrow, probably over lunch somewhere. India Arie is going to be in town this Thursday so I'll see if she wants to check out that concert and we'll go from there. I'll post as things progress. In the meantime, how about some corny humor (which is quintessentially me) - and feel free to add your own in the comments: Why did the chicken cross the road?HOWARD DEAN
Because she was going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico! She was going to California and Texas and New York! And she was going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan! And then she’s going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House, Yeeeeeaaaaaah!

AL GORE
To discover an inconvenient truth.
RALPH NADER
The chicken's habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling Escalade.
PAT BUCHANAN
To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.
RUSS FEINGOLD
To take a principled stand for the constitutional rights and protections of all chickens

RONALD REAGAN
What chicken?
JIMMY CARTER
Because there was a brand new coop on the other side that her friends here at Habitat for Chickens built for her.
GERALD FORD
I dunno, D'oh!
RICHARD M. NIXON
I am not a chicken thief.
LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON
Because I #^&^ing told it to cross the road! Any more dumb @$$ questions?!?
JOHN F. KENNEDY
Ask not what your chicken can do for you...
TONY SNOW
There was no chicken, you should retract that story as many innocent chickens have been hurt.
RUSH LIMBAUGH
I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross. What's next? Free prescription drugs for crossing-the-road syndrome? Free drugs to help some cock do his cockle-doodle-doo?
ROBERT BYRD
We applaud the efforts of the working class chicken. It will be a travesty if we do not pass my $87 million bill so that poor American chickens throughout West Virginia have this same opportunity to cross the Robert Byrd Highway across from the Robert Byrd Observatory.
KENNETH STARR
I intend to prove that the chicken crossed the road at the behest of Bill Clinton in an effort to distract law enforcement officials and the American public from the sexual wrongdoing our highest elected official has been trying to cover up. As a result, the chicken is just another pawn in the president's ongoing and elaborate scheme to obstruct justice and undermine the rule of law. For that reason, my staff intends to offer the chicken unconditional immunity provided he cooperates fully with our investigation. Furthermore, the chicken will not be permitted to reach the other side of the road until our investigation and any Congressional follow-up investigations have been completed.
P.I.T.A. SPOKESPERSON
What business is it of yours why the chicken crossed the road? The chicken had every right to cross the road, more right than you have, since the chicken never murdered or enslaved another animal for its own pleasure.
JERRY FALWELL
Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what "they" call it - the "other side." Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side."
MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
GRANDDADDY
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.
OLIVER STONE
She didn't cross the road. Witnesses from the grassy knoll clearly saw that it was instead two geese that crossed, forever debunking the one-bird theory.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY
To die. In the rain. Alone.

MARTIN LUTHER
I've got 95 reasons why the chicken crossed the road posted on the door of the Wittenberg KFC
EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?
SIGMUND FREUD
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
CARL JUNG
The shadow knows...
BILL GATES
I have just released eChicken 2003, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook--- and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken.
OLIVER NORTH
I really can't comment. I don't recall. I wasn't aware that the road crossing actually occurred, since that information was classified.
LOUIS FARRAKHAN
The road, you will see, is allegorical for the Black man. The chicken crossed the "Black man" in order to trample him and keep him down.
COLONOL NATHAN JESSEP
She couldn't handle the roost!
DON VITO CORLEONE
We make her an offer, she no refuse...
TONY MONTANA

CONDOLEEZZA RICE
This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of white phosphorus on her.
Because she was going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico! She was going to California and Texas and New York!

"Crispy chicken served with a side of fries
Increasing the spread of the average American's thighs
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the fat in my skin
Calories in my breast.
So I throw myself at a car,
allowing some woman to achieve her best.
I'm a chicken
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal chicken,
That's me."
PRINCE:
I knew a girl named chicken I guess you could say she crossed the street
The chicken crossed to get away from the Purple Rain.
The chickens crossing is just a Sign Of The Time..
It crossed to get to the Diamond and Pearls I had for it.
Chickens crossing the road are just Scandolous...
Ok I really need to stop...Oscar you done started something!
To find out that life truly gets better
