WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
Written by Cpl (ret) "Durty" Dan Leger

Various rank levels were asked this question. Here are their stereotypical responses.

RANK	ANSWER
MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENCE	"We have a chicken!?!?"
CHIEF OF DEFENCE STAFF	"The General was handling that. I have more pressing matters to attend to."
GENERAL	"The chicken crossed the road without my knowledge or my consent. I blame my staff, who are of low moral fibre."
COLONEL	"I distincly remember the General ordering the chicken to cross the road. In retrospect I should have got it on paper."
MAJOR	"That sounds like one of those questions they asked when I was in Staff College. There was no real solution, it was just an excercise to get you thinking of all the possibilities. I really enjoyed that excercise . . . What was the question, again?"
LT	"Gee, they never covered that at RMC. Hey, Warrant . . ."
WARRANT	"I don't know, sir. I told the Sergeant to handle that. If he screwed this up and made me look bad in front of the troops, I'll have him."
SERGEANT	"I told the chicken that it had TWO choices. Cross the road on it's own or have me kick it's ass across that f%$#@ing road!"
CORPORAL	"Because of what the Sergeant said to the chicken, I imagine. Hell, even I crossed the road after what he said to that chicken."
PRIVATE	"To get to the other side. DUH!"
