Where no tyranny is tolerable

This is predicated on the following premises:
The purpose of a chicken's existence
is to cross a road.
The purpose of a road's existence
is to be crossed by a chicken.
If the chicken came first,
it would have required a preexisting road
for the chicken to cross.
If the road came first,
it would have required that a preexisting chicken
be there to cross it.
Therefore, this is an irreconcilable philosophical problem.
To the argument that roads
exist so that cars can drive on them,
I argue that roads have existed since ancient times.
How ancient?
At least since the first rooster
got layed by the first chicken.
She had to find some way to reach him.
So she started walking down a road.
Midnitesun, could there be a breed of chicken
that lays egg beaters??????????

Yes, Drauntz, but, you see, the birds from which chickens evolved used "air lines" to get around.  However couldn't and can't fly very well so they could not get around using "air lines," so they had to settle for roads, they could cross.  and so, you see, natural selection took it from there.

Surley it was chickens that made 'inroads' into crossing rosters and hens to answer the original question:

which came first the chicken or the egg

(Maybe fertilised for soldiers?)

Jaime, your humor remains eggsactly intact.  Actually, at one time, Chickens could fly....quite like turkeys, in fact, and get to a tree, even before a road ever existed.  But that was then, and this is now.

Scrambled eggs, anyone?



Well done, Jaime!

told you, there is no logic in poems. I can not find single bone in egg, so there is no chicken inside.

You see, chicken has chicken lane. human has human road.
Human make road with hand while chicken makes with feet. When chicken makes its road on asphalt, it says " who left night here?"

Sir, have fun  and have ncie day.
