When traveling, my daughter and I have some pretty wonky conversations. Tonight, as we sit in the hotel, she changed my take on yet another dumb joke we’ve all heard since we were small. “Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.” My kid says, do you get it mom? If it’s a busy road, the chicken gets hit and goes to the “other side”. Really? Really? You had to kill the chicken? You couldn’t let me see it be happy in the other ditch? You had to go there didn’t you.... Yep. Point of view is everything.
Just to let you all know, I’m not going to be on here like this ALL the time, but boredom in hotel rooms causes me to post random thoughts on various websites. You should see my Twitter....
My religious childhood friend talks about "the other side" all the time. The other side of what? How can you talk about something you have no idea of at all? Something that is not really even there in your holy book but people put a few threads together and want to make it real. IF life was a coin I could talk about the other side.
LOVE random thoughts - this was a good one!! lol
For more than 50 years I have just assumed that chickens were curious but now I find out they are suicidal too. Should have realized this when I was living in Bermuda which has thousands of feral chickens running around the island. These feral chickens were notorious for sitting on the low stone walls that border most of the island roads and then for no apparent reason they would just fly out into traffic, smashing windshields which are triple the cost to replace because it's a remote island or knocking motorcyclists off their ride. Kamikaze chickens is more like it.
