Playing Chicken With Traffic

(Sitting in the car with my dad in really bad traffic, listening to the news when the traffic update comes up.)

Me: “Now we will know why all the traffic is so slow!”

News Reporter: *talking about the usual crashes* “…and I can’t believe this, a CHICKEN is running around causing a hold up on [Highway] and some civilians have had to get out of their cars to help it cross the road.”

Dad: “Why did the chicken cross the road?”

Me: “You should have asked it.”
