And here are some more, that I just made....

Image Chicken

Crosses the road directly and efficiently, providing the route is
explicitly specified for it. If you wish it to cross other roads, there
are tools to help enormously with this, but you have to buy them
separately.


Class 'A' Chicken

Crosses the road just like a Class 'N' chicken, but has been hobbled so
that it can only do this four (some would say eight) times as slowly.


SAP Chicken

Can cross all manner of roads, and has done so successfully in hundreds
of cases, you are told. However, in the likely event that the SAP
chicken is unable to cross your particular road, you will be encouraged
to 'business process re-engineer' your road to match an existing,
recommended, paradigm road.

While this will be highly inconvenient, and eye-wateringly expensive,
the only alternative will be to re-engineer the SAP chicken to match
your 'idiosyncratic' road. This will be not merely eye-wateringly but
unimaginably expensive. And if after all that the chicken still cannot
cross the road, it will be *your* fault, not the chicken's.


Press Chicken

Approaches the road, and makes as if to cross. Security men, acting on
orders from people who you wouldn't think had any authority over the
road, appear from nowhere and attempt to prevent this.


MPE Chicken

Has been crossing the road successfully for years, but now finds the
road is due to be torn up by 2007. It is hoped to extend its usefulness
by a process which lays a simulacrum of the road over other roads of
quite different types.....
