So, most of you have probably already heard the "joke" Why did the chicken cross the road, the answer being To get to the other side. Most of you have probably wondered why this was a joke. The reason why? It's a metaphor for death.
Don't believe me? Think about it.
The chicken crossed the road, right? What happens if there are cars driving along this road? The chicken gets run over. The chicken dies, therefore making it to the other side.But if there were no cars, then it would have made it to the other side (This time meaning the sidewalk). So it's a joke because it makes it to the other side both literally and metaphorically.
Vsauce was talking about this theory too. It makes it kinda sad. But I must rebuttle this theory for 1 reason:
The joke says the chicken crossed the road. It didn't say it attempted to cross the road. It is implying that he did make it to the other side of the road.
The joke is that it's not a joke- that instead of a punch line it's just a sump,e reason why he'd get across the road.
That's where the anti-joke chicken meme came from.
Gerald Costello Severson was sitting in his coop/study observing a complete 550 page book about the cold war, for the fourth time. He had obviously realized that it was his time to come forth and set out on an epic adventure. Gerald had recently read Mark Twain's "The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn." and was inspired to leave home. He walked down the long wooden gangplank stretching from his coop to the ground. After making a painful walk down the plank he set foot on sweet, fertile ground.
Luckily Gerald remembered to pack a compass, sleeping mat and a globe (made when the USSR was a thing). The air had a scent of pine and oil from the nearby road. Gerald proceeded to the crest of the sidewalk. It seemed as if hundreds of giant metal machines were plowing down the road. Gerald carefully traversed the road and ended up on the other side. It had been the most amazing adventure one chicken could have. Gerald proceeded to return home.
The end.
Also excuse me for I r knowing how to into grammar
"All I'm sure of is that our proverbial chicken did not have Agryophobia. That's the fear of crossing streets. But maybe the chicken should have. I mean crossing the road could be quite dangerous for a little bird. Which brings us to a much darker interpretation of the joke. Maybe this chicken knew of the danger of crossing the road. Maybe he knew what could happen. Maybe he was sad, or lonely. Or maybe he knew what his fate was. And so he decided to take control and cross it himself, to get to the other side. If you want to continue being morbid, check out DeathClock.com. Answer a few questions and the site will generate a countdown of seconds you likely have to left live. You can just sit there and watch them tick away..."
