Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Generation after generation people have tried to find an answer to this world-known question. And generation after generation has fallen out with the past generations because of this one simple question.
Though what would people like for example Plato, Saddam Hussein, Buddha and Einstein say if they were to answer this question: “Why did the chicken cross the road?”
Is the answer as simple as the kindergarten teacher would say: To get to the other side, or is the answer perhaps more complicated like Ariel Sharon would say: it was a suicide bomber chicken trying to blow up a Jewish settlement?
Is there actually a correct answer? And if so, which is it? Therefore here a list of possible answers which these people might possibly have said:

Plato: for the greater good

Martin Luther King: I have a dream that all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives being called into question.

Aristotle: it is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

The Beatles: to be free as a bird.

George Orwell: Because Big Brother was watching to make sure that it did cross the road, although in its heart, the chicken never did.

E.T.: Chicken, phone home

George W. Bush: 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.

Adolf Hitler: It was a victim of the Jewish conspiracy.

Karl Marx: This was a historical inevitability.

Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Buddha: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.

Stalin: I don’t care. Catch it. I need its eggs to make my omelet.

John Lennon: Imagine all the chickens crossing roads in peace.

Al Gore: I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people.

The Pope: That is only for God to know.

Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

Grandpa: 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.

Julius Caesar: To come, to see, to conquer.

Saddam Hussein: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

Captain Kirk: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

Moses: And God gave a sign from heaven and said to the chicken: “You shall cross the road” and the chicken crossed the road amongst great jubilation and happiness.

Sir Isaac Newton: A chicken at rest remains at rest; a chicken in motion remains in motion.

Charles Darwin: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically dispositioned to cross roads.

Emerson: The chicken did not cross the road, it transcended it.

Jerry Fallwell: 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 why they call it “the other side”. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And, if you eat it 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”.
