30/52 Photo of the Week (The Proverbial Question)

by kristengill

( September 25th, 2009 )

Why should not a chicken cross the road?

It would be a fowl proceeding.

These crazy chickens are making the proverbial journey across a street in a tiny town outside of Vang Vieng, Laos. I would have asked them myself, if I spoke their language. Bawk Bawk!

Oh, and did you know that in Quitman, Georgia, an ordinance prohibits chickens from crossing the road?

Why not? Cross that road, and adventure on!

Oh my! What is the punishment for those chicken breaking the rules in Quitman? Will they be roasted for lunch?

I’d say they’d probably be BBQ’d as punishment in Georgia!

Yes, chickens of the world, keep on taking risks but don’t end up as road kill.

What seems like casual behavior for Laotian chickens is prohibited for certain American chickens. My how times have changed!

Well in the US we have to have a purpose for everything – don’t we? If we want to do something just because, well, we’ll probably get arrested for it.
