To get to the other other side…..

That’s where Eggs Benedict Arnold came from.

Does it come with sides?

Yeah, but it got defeated by the Chicken Catch-a-Tory. (Pun stolen from Mr. Peabody of the “Peabody’s Improbable History” cartoons.)

It must have come from West Point.

Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the road crossed the chicken first. Payback.

It’s not cannibalism…If it’s fried.

If the chicken double crossed the road, it’s back where it started.

First strip to make me LOL today!

Oh? Road killer fricassee?

The chicken must have been a F(ound) O(n) the R(oad) D(ead).

To get to BOTH sides. :)

But it didn’t quite make it back across the road. Now it’s Roz’s roadkill.

I’ve always heard that there are two sides to every chicken.

why?

It probably tastes like it only made it half way.

Benedict Arnold chicken products can be bought at any Traitor Joe’s.

Cute…

Not to be confused with Chicken Catch-a-Tory

Are Eggs Benedict bad for you?

What did they call the chicken who promised to go to the other side of the road and stay there … but didn’t stay there? … A Double-Crosser

That second time’s a killer…

Back during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, somebody created a humorous list of what various people’s takes might be on why the chicken crossed the road. My favorite was probably that Saddam Hussein’s propaganda guy, Baghdad Bob, said it was an act of rebellion and Iraq was totally justified in dropping lots of nerve agent on the chicken.

Barbara Walters said she was going to interview the chicken to learn the “heartwarming” details of how it crossed the road (she didn’t even mention “why”).

One of the U.S. religious whackjobs, Falwell or Robertson I think, said that “crossing the road” was a code phrase for converting to gay….

And my memory might be playing tricks on me, but I believe ex-President Clinton said he did not have sex with that chicken.

I once saw Eggs Benedict Arnold on a menu.

I don’t remember what the joke was that went with the name, though.

How do we know it’s not road killed?
