I received this from a friend of a friend and found it cute, so I thought I
would pass it on.
 
Subject: Chickens
 
In PC World, how does a chicken cross the road?
 
NT Chicken:
    Will cross the road in June. No, August. September for sure.
 
OS/2 Chicken:
    It crossed the road in style years ago, but it was so quiet that
    nobody noticed.
 
Win 95 Chicken:
    You see different colored feathers while it crosses, but cook it
    and it still tastes like ... chicken.
 
Microsoft Chicken (TM):
    It's already on both sides of the road.  And it just bought the
    road.
 
OOP Chicken:
    It doesn't need to cross the road, it just sends a message.
 
Assembler Chicken:
    First it builds the road ...
 
C Chicken:
    It crosses the road without looking both ways.
 
C++ Chicken:
    The chicken wouldn't have to cross the road, you'd simply refer
    to him on the other side.
 
VB Chicken:
    USHighways!TheRoad.cross (aChicken)
 
Delphi Chicken:
    The chicken is dragged across the road and dropped on the other
    side.
 
Java Chicken:
    If your road needs to be crossed by a chicken, the server will
    download one to the other side. (Of course, those are chicklets)
 
Web Chicken:
    Jumps out onto the road, turns right, and just keeps on running.
 
Gopher Chicken:
    Tried to run, but got flattened by the Web chicken.
 
Newton Chicken:
    Can't cluck, can't fly, and can't lay eggs, but you can carry it
    across the road in your pocket !
 
Cray Chicken:
    Crosses faster than any other chicken, but if you don't dip it in
    liquid nitrogen first, it arrives on the other side fully cooked.
 
Quantum Logic Chicken:
    The chicken is distributed probabalistically on all sides of the
    road until you observe it on the side of your course.
 
Lotus Chicken:
    Don't you *dare* try to cross the road the same way we do !
 
Mac Chicken:
    No reasonable chicken owner would want a chicken to cross the
    road, so there's no way to tell it to.
 
Al Gore Chicken:
    Waiting for completion of NCI (Nation Chicken-crossing
    Infrastructure) and will cross as soon as it's finished,
    assuming he's re-elected and the Republicans don't gut the
    program.
