Why did the chicken cross the road?

Since we're at it, and I want to release stress, here are a few more I made up.
Warning though, they are worse, and non-pc. :)

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Sir Edmund Hillary : because it's there.
(ok, I read that somewhere)

Chris (being badly corny):
to impress some chicks.

Chris (in reply to the animal activist) :
it was part of a government readiness exercise and it was an old hen that was going to be slaughtered anyway.

Chris (the pseudo political scientist) :
it was a suicide bomber (halal).

Chris (the philosopher) :
was it morally wrong?
