Why did the chicken cross the road?--USAF reactions to this event
follow:

Air Education and Training Command:
The purpose is to familiarize the chicken with road-crossing
procedures. Road-crossing should be performed only between the
hours of sunset and sunrise. Solo chickens must have at least three
miles of visibility and a safety observer.

Special Ops:
The chicken crossed at a 90 degree angle to avoid prolonged exposure
to a line of communication. To achieve maximum surprise, the chicken
should have performed this maneuver at night using NVGs, preferably
near a road bend in a valley.

Air Combat Command:
The chicken should log this as a GCC sortie only if road-crossing
qualified. The crossing updates the chicken's 60-day road-crossing
currency only if performed on a Monday or Thursday or during a full
moon. Instructor chickens may update currency any time they
observe another chicken cross the road.

Tanker Airlift Control Center:
We need the road-crossing time and the time the chicken becomes
available for another crossing.

Command Post:
What chicken?

Tower:
The chicken was instructed to hold short of the road. This
road-incursion incident was reported in a Hazardous Chicken
Road-Crossing Report (HCRCR). Please re-emphasize that chickens
are required to read back all hold short instructions.

C-130 crewmember:
Just put it in back and let's go.

C-141 crewmember:
I ordered a #4 with turkey and ham, NOT chicken. Besides, where the
heck are my condiments?! We ain't taking off til' I get my
condiments!!!

Fighter dude:
Look, dude, that was the frag, OK? I've flown my 1.0 for the day and I
ain't got time for anymore questions!

B-1 crew:
Missed the whole show--we had an IFE so we couldn't get out to see
it; you'll have to ask the SOF.

Air Force Personnel Center:
Due to the needs of the Air Force, the chicken was involuntarily
reassigned to the other side of the road. This will be a 3-year
controlled tour and we promise to give the chicken a good-deal
assignment afterwards. Every chicken will be required to do one
road-crossing during its career, and this will not affect its
opportunities
for future promotion.

John Warden:
The chicken used its unique ability to operate in 2 dimensions to
bypass the less important strategic rings on this side of the road and
strike directly into the heart of the enemy, thereby destroying the will
of
the enemy to fight and thus ending the conflict on terms favorable to
the chicken.

Congress:
The chicken will do anything to get the C-17 and the F-22.

TOP TEN REASONS WHY STAR WARS CHARACTERS AND GEAR WOULD WIN IN STAR TREK

 

  1. In Star Wars, weapons are rarely, if ever, set on "stun".
  2. The Enterprise needs a big engineering section with an anti-matter unit and normally requires a large crew to go into warp. The Millennium Falcon does the same thing with just R2-D2 and a Wookie.
  3. After resisting torture from an Imperial interrogation droid and Darth Vader, Princess Leia still looked fresh and desirable. After pithy Cardassian starvation torture, Picard looked like death.
  4. One word: Lightsabers.
  5. Darth Vader could choke the entire Borg Collective to death with a single glance and a gesture.
  6. The Death Star couldn't care less if a world is "Class M" or not.
  7. Luke Skywalker isn't obsessed with every alien chick he encounters (just his twin sister).
  8. Jabba the Hutt would eat Harry Mudd for trying to cut in on his action.
  9. The United Federation of Planets would be in for a big surprise when trying to liberate any ship named "Slave I".
  10. Picard pilots the Enterprise through asteroid fields at 1/4 impulse power. Han Solo floors it.
