Joke Swap

At the end of December, we hosted a postcard swap amongst our members. On the postcards, participants were to write a joke and mail it off to their partners. Lots of humorous mail traveled around the globe!

To get the ball of humor rolling we asked each participant to answer the familiar philosophical wisecrack.

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

And here are the witty responses from the participants...

... To reach the popcorn! Duh!
... Potato.
... 'Cause that's where all the fun was at! Woop woop!!
... To meet the other chicken. He liked her so much he put a wing on it. :-p
... Because Chuck Norris told him to.
... To get to the other side.
... To get to her mailbox?
... To join the Chic-fil-A picketers. Moo!
... She was afraid someone would caeser.
... The chicken found a similar chicken on this side of the road to be repellent.
... Why *wouldn't* the chicken cross the road?
... To get her breasts examined at the local clinic?
... To beat the egg and settle the score on the issue once and for all?
... Robert Frost: To cross the road less traveled by.
... The chicken did not cross the road. The road passed beneath the chicken.
... To prove to the squirrels that it can be done.
... He wanted to stretch his legs.
... To get away from the fryer.
... To prove that he wasn't [a chicken].
... To avert an existential crisis among joke-tellers.
... To lay an egg--oh, wait--maybe the egg crossed the road first, and then the chicken---?!?!?
... For absolutely no reason. Chickens are not smart creatures.
... Because he felt like it. :)
... Because she was looking for a stationery shop. She went paper-chasing.

And now you get to vote. Which response is the funniest?
