Warning: Please read if you extremely bored and have no other work to do in life. Read this only after you have read all the other Notes of all your other friends on Facebook and have read the entire Scrapbook of your friends on Orkut. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you coz, I don’t want people calling me up and running after me with knives saying that I just wasted 10 minutes of their precious free time.
Consider yourselves WARNED!
I bet everyone’s heard of the “Why did the chicken cross the road” jokes. But have you ever wondered which demented mind came up with this kind of a question? I know… sounds like a pretty weird thing to be thinking about…. But a few days ago I was forced to ponder over this. Well, I don’t know who came up with these jokes but I have a pretty good idea about where the thought came from.
Well, most of you know that I’ve been in Goa for the past 5 months, ie, since November. Anyways, I live in a small village kind of a thing in North Goa, near the Taj Holiday Village and the Fort Aguada. They call these places ‘vaddo’s. Btw, for all you uninformed, I’m training at the Fort Aguada Beach Resort. Back to the point…. I was on my way home from the hotel on my bike and I entered my lane. This lane has lots of dogs, cats, pigs, and of course, chickens. So, as I was going, there was this chicken on the left hand side of the road. And by the left, I mean way, way, extreme left. The bloody thing had absolutely no reason to move from the point where it was standing, oh so peacefully, lost in it’s own world. I was at least 2 feet from the damn thing. So as I was going, this chicken started running right next to my bike and all the while, it was furiously flapping its wings (I was going pretty slow). Suddenly the chicken just zoomed across the road, right in front of my bike, barely missing the front tire. All this while, I was just observing the creature wondering what it the hell was it trying to do?! Commit suicide? The question popped in my head, “Why did the chicken cross the road?!” It stuck me that this line sounded mighty familiar. And of course, THEN it hit me that this was an entire sequence of jokes. I realized that the guy who thought of these jokes must have had a similar incident happen to him. :D I bet that was the start of all the ‘why did the chicken cross the road jokes’.
This has happened to me quite a few times since the first incident and now whenever this happens to me, invariably I ask myself “Why did the chicken cross the road?” and I burst out laughing…. And you know what? I have come to realize, there is only one possible explanation to all this. Only one answer to this question….. “To get to the other side” :D
I warned you………
