“I think you’re in the wrong joke,” the manager said.

“Oh!:” the chicken said, “I though I was supposed to turn left at Wheatgrass Street.”

“Isn’t this the Corn and Barley Bar?”



“Uh, uh”, the manager no-nodded his head.

“But we do sell and tell corny jokes if you’d like one.”

“Yes” the chicken said, “When I’m not near the corn I love, I love the corn that’s near”.



“OK,” “Why did the chicken cross the road?”

“I didn’t intend to,” the chicken said, “I was looking over my shoulder at my favorite hen and suddenly! I was across the road”



“Uh, huh”, the manager said, “Thank you for giving me the real story”.



Tune in to CNN tonight at eight and you’ll see the chicken, the road and the hen re-enacting this gripping drama.
