What is this? Some kind of joke?

On the drive home tonight on an old country road, Enzo had to pause while 2 chickens crossed in front of us. Despite me asking, the chickens never told us "why".

Hey, that was downtown Aurelius. A town that is pretty much a stop sign where two roads cross.

Not really a town, it isn;t incorporated or anything, doesn't have a bar or a post office.

But it does have chickens.

[Lance]

Maybe they didn't cross the road at all. Maybe they were following the other one, parallel to it.

[Enzo]

This isn't turning into one of those intersection versus union things,is it?

[wring]

Maybe they didn't cross the road at all. Maybe they were following the other one, parallel to it.

They were heading away from the store, and to a residence, I suspect they were out of beer.

[Enzo]

Or someone had explained "beer can chicken" to them.

Or someone had explained "beer can chicken" to them.

I had to google that - it sounds fantastic! Probably less so for the chicken, admittedly.

I go down the street to the mega-grocery store most days. I ride around the place on the electric cart, buy a couple things, and that is my entertainment for the day. I know most of the door greeters, and chat them up on the way in. One old guy likes a laugh. SO I told him a joke:

A priest, a rabbi, and a duck walk into a bar. Bartender says, "What is this, a joke?"

Yes, an old favorite joke.

SO I say the first line, a priest, a rabbi, and a duck walk into a bar.

He grins and looks with anticipation.

Then I say the bartender says "What is this, a joke?"

And he grins and looks at me with anticipation.

...crickets...

I said, "That was the joke..."

"Oh, I was waiting for a punch line."

So I explained the joke, and he then agreed it was funny.


(sigh) Some crowds are a tough sell.

Chicken, duck, fowl joke... I know they are all related somehow.


Yeah, I wasn't sure beer can chicken would cross the pond well.
