Why did the chicken cross the road?
A man in the street asked me, “Why did the chicken cross the road?”
“I don’t know, why did the chicken cross the road?” I asked.
He said, “I don’t know why the chicken crossed the road, that’s why. I asked you, so why did the chicken cross the road?”
“I don’t know, why did the chicken cross the road?” I asked.
He said, “I already told you, I don’t know why the chicken crossed the road — that’s why I asked you. So why did the chicken cross the road?”
“I don’t know,” I said.
“Neither do I,” he said, “that’s why I asked you, so why did the chicken cross the road?”
“I don’t know why the chicken crossed the road, that’s why I asked you,” I said.
“Why did the chicken cross the road?” he said.
“I already told you, I don’t know why the chicken crossed the road, that’s why I asked you why the chicken crossed the road,” I said.
He said, “Look, it’s perfectly simple. I asked you why the chicken crossed the road, and you told me you didn’t know, and then you asked me why the chicken crossed the road, and then I told you I didn’t know, and that’s why I asked you, and then I asked you why the chicken crossed the road, and then you told me you didn’t know, and then you asked me why the chicken crossed the road, and then I told you I didn’t know, and that’s why I asked you, and then I asked you why the chicken crossed the road, and then you told me you didn’t know, and then I told you I didn’t know either, and that’s why I asked you, and then I asked you why the chicken crossed the road, and then you told me you didn’t know, and that’s why you asked me, and then I asked you why the chicken crossed the road, and then you told me you didn’t know, and that’s why you asked me why the chicken crossed the road — OK?”
“OK,” I said.
“OK, so why did the chicken cross the road?” he said.
“Probably to get away from you — you irritating, monotonous, tedious, moronic little tit,” I said.
