Interesting.

This is no laughing matter. Have you seen what a modern car can do to a chicken? Its all red mist and feather. Pow! Just like that.

The earliest references to this joke are as an anti-joke, so I think the chicken is just fine!

No.
The chicken is fine, and living it up on the other side of the road.
Don't worry.

the little fucker was just crossing the road. it's a dada joke.

this "other side == death" thing is a modern re-interpretation. hits pretty hard, so it might stick.

but this is not ring around the rosy & you weren't naive all those years.

I only saw this a few weeks ago too!

I just thought it wasn't funny.

Recently I heard it suggested that the story of Adam & Eve is just about a couple that drunk far too much cider at a party, made an arse of themselves and got slung out by the host. It's plausible.

That’s how you get a poultrygeist.

The movie was better.

It’s not a joke. It’s a morality tale of how one member of a community can sacrifice themselves for the good of everyone else. The chicken knows that death awaits but still crosses the road. A hero. Or maybe it’s just a joke.
