In the end a long discussion with the C/O ended with my contrite "confession" that I harboured a secret passion for so called "heavy metal music".

So do I... If I were still a Witness, I'd make good use of that.

Hey, listener, Be welcome!

Linda Tripp 's Answer:"I've been friends with this chicken for a long time. I only recorded the chicken's crossing of the road because it was important for the country to know what was going on Pennsylvania Ave."

Isaac Newton 's Answer:The duck suggested to the chicken that they play

Gandhi 's Answer:

Steve Jobs 's (Apple) Answer:
Because of the brand-new iChicken- a portable device that crosses roads, lays eggs, gives wakeup calls and provides dinner, automatically. This amazing device can simply plug in to the $4000 iCoop to produce additional iChickens and recharge existing iChickens, or plug it into the $9000 iChop to convert iChicken files into iFood. iFood-to-Regular Food converters sell for an additional $50/month fee, however the optional iFood-to-FoodXP converter is still in development. iChickens are only available from authorized iDealers, which can be found in nearly every US state. If your iChicken develops a disease or stops working, you must send it by FedEx Overnight to Littleton, Montana and our iTechnicians will send you a replacement within 3 months. The iChicken. Wow.

The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The
end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

Mark Twain's Answer:
The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated

Salvador Dali 's Answer:
The Fish.

Secretary Cheney's Answer:
Chickens are big-time because they have wings. They could fly if they
wanted to. Chickens don't want to cross the road. They don't need
help crossing the road. In fact, I'm not interested in crossing the
road myself.

The Sphinx's Answer:
You tell me.

Neil Armstrong's Answer:
That's one small step for Chicken, one giant leap for Chicken kind.

George Bush's Answer:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.

That was my pet peeve---going overtime! Windbags!!

I'd find it so funny when they took too much time in the watchtower study... then the last paragraphs had to be done in a hurry... I guess many brothers think: "let's finish this off! I gotta go home to watch sports!"
