Q: Why did the chicken cross the road??

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.

We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.

The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We don't even have a chicken.

If the chicken crossed the road, it is the will of Allah. We will bomb anyone who tries to prevent it crossing the road.

What was wrong in the chicken crossing the road? The West think they can decide the way the chicken should cross. Well, this means I can't retire yet.

Imagine all the chickens crossing roads in peace.

It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

I may not agree with what the chicken did, but I will defend to the death its right to do it.

What chicken?

To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

You saw it cross the road with your own eyes! How many more chickens have to cross before you believe it?

Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?
