Kimber: We spent $2.5M on chicken and Raptor advertising last year.
Magnum Research: Desert Eagles don’t cross roads, they make the road detour around them.

Savage: Four hundred bucks. One minute-of-chicken.

Winchester: Effective immediately, we are withdrawing all chickens with black talons from the market.
Browning: Show us your chickenmark.

Beretta: A Cheetah was chasing it.

Sorry guys, the comments were accidentally turned off on this one, for a bit. It’s fixed now! I was wondering why nobody was chiming in!
Mike,
You packed a lot of laughs into a short read here. These were quite clever, but I’m taking the high road and not revealing which ones I laughed at the hardest. Except for the HK one. I confess to spewing coffee onto my keyboard on a Saturday morning on that one. Got a bit up my nose, I did.
Good Show!
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it buddy. The management is not responsible for any keyboard failures, as a result of nose coffee jets. It says so in the fine print. 😁
Mike I thought that ol Chicken was crossing the road because he was running from some hungry guys armed with revolvers.
Ha! Maybe you nailed it, Tony!
I loved the Bill Jordan version: No Second Place Chicken . . . it was the perfect prequel to Jeff Cooper’s ingenious solution to a non-existent problem.
I was trying to think of how I could manipulate his “crunchenticker” into “chicken finger” without losing everyone . . . 😆
Mike,
The question of why the chicken crossed the road has baffled man for many, many years now. After spending much time in areas where these other critters roam, I can finally provide an answer to the actual question asked.
“Why did the chicken cross the road?” “To prove to the Opossums and Armadillos that it could be done.”
Bill, why didn’t I go to you, first?
Hat tip for linking to Monster Hunter Nation, wasn’t aware there were any readers of Larry Correia here!
Enjoyed all of these, thanks for the laughs.
Kalashnikov USA: “Nyet, chicken is fine!!”
Mike –
Now that I’ve quit chuckling (sometimes uncontrollably), a tip of the hat to You, Sir. No doubt a considerable amount of thought went into these and I have to confess that I can’t pick a favorite…but in honor of my hero, I’ll go with the ‘Skeeter’ response. Thanks for making my day!

You bet, Kevin! Glad it brought a smile!
Y’know, my son at four years old asked me “Dad, why did the chicken cross the playground?” When I didn’t know he said “To get to the other slide!” No idea if he made this up himself, but that’s what you reminded me of.
So, I’ve got the maturity and sense of humor of a four year old?
Yes!!! I’m improving! 😁
