One day, while driving in the countryside, a salesman saw a chicken running alongside his car. He appeared to have three legs. And he was fast. The traveler sped up to fifty miles per hour, and the chicken stayed right with him. At eighty he was still there, jogging his little heart out, staring at the driver with a smirk on his beak. The motorist decided to stop and take a closer look when all of a sudden the chicken darted into a farm driveway and disappeared. He slammed on his brakes and backed up. As he drove up to the farmhouse, an old man walked out with his wife and teenage son.

Hey, have y’all seen a three-legged chicken around here?

Sure, the farmer said. That’s my chicken.

Really? How’d he get three legs? He’s really fast on his feet!

The old man spat into the dirt. My wife and son and I live here alone. We don’t have much to eat but we all love fried chicken, especially the drumsticks. I finally decided to develop a new breed of chicken with three legs, so we could each have a drumstick from only one chicken.

Amazing! How do they taste?

I don’t know, he said. We haven’t been able to catch him yet.

A family of skunks went for their morning walk. They came to a fork in the road.

The daddy skunk said, My instinct tells me to take the left fork.

The momma skunk said, My instinct tells me to take the right fork.

The baby skunk pondered a moment and said, My end stinks too but I still don’t know which road to take!

Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, Fried chicken. She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, because everyone else in the class laughed. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much.

I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again. The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she’d asked the other children. So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.

She sent me back to the principal’s office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t like it when I am. Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most.

I told her, Colonel Sanders. Guess where I am now.

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?

The crow answered, Sure, why not?

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

The moral of the story is: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

A Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog. Ever mindful of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be a Baptist. They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs. Finally, they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted. The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife. Fetch the Bible, he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought it to the owner. Now find Psalm 23, he commanded. The dog dropped the Bible to the floor, and showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed through, found the correct passage, and pointed to it with his paw. The pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog.

That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate several Bible verses. The visitors were very impressed. One man asked, Can he do regular dog tricks, too?

I haven’t tried yet, the pastor replied. He pointed his finger at the dog. Heel! the pastor commanded. The dog immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor’s forehead and began to howl. The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, Oh my! He’s Pentecostal!

A fellow had a pet buzzard named Buford and decided to take him to Hawaii on vacation. He realized it was a long flight and that he couldn’t afford the exorbitant fees charged by airlines for extra luggage. So he bought Buford a ticket. But the airline denied boarding to Buford. It seems Buford had too much carrion baggage.

A research group on sea mammals captured a rather odd porpoise on one of its trips. Its peculiarity was that it had feet. After they had photographed and measured the poor thing, they prepared to set it free.

Wait a minute, said one of the researchers, wouldn’t it be a kindness if our ship’s doctor here were to amputate the feet so that it would be like other porpoises?

Not on your life, exclaimed the doctor. That would be defeeting the porpoise.

A couple goes for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and orders the Chicken Surprise. The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast-iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down.

Good grief, did you see that? she asks her husband.

He hasn’t, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down.

Sputtering in a fit of pique, he calls the waiter over, describes what is happening, and demands an explanation!

Please sir, says the waiter, what did you order?

The husband replies, Chicken Surprise.

Ah . . . so sorry, says the waiter, I brought you Peeking Duck.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.

The teacher asked, What if Jonah went to hell?

The little girl replied, Then you ask him.

Some race horses are in a stable. One of them starts to boast about his track record. In the last 15 races, I’ve won 8 of them!

Another horse breaks in, Well in the last 27 races, I’ve won 19!

Oh, that’s good, but in the last 36 races, I’ve won 28! says another, flicking his tail.

At this point, they notice that a greyhound dog has been sitting there listening. I don’t mean to boast, says the greyhound, but in my last 90 races, I’ve won 88 of them!

The horses are clearly amazed. Wow! says one, after a hushed silence. A talking dog!

Bartender, is that a real dog playing poker? the guy asks.

Yep, real as can be. the bartender replies.

Well, is he any good? the guy asks.

Na, every time he has a good hand he wags his tail.

A man was driving down a backcountry road in the middle of ranch country when his car stalled. He got out and raised the hood to see if he could find out what had happened. A brown, white-faced cow slowly lumbered from the field she had been grazing in over to the car and stuck her head under the hood beside the man. After a moment the cow looked at the man and said, Looks like a bad carburetor to me. Then she walked back into the field and began grazing again.

Amazed, the man walked back to the ranch house he had just passed, where he met a rancher. Hey, mister, is that your cow in the field? he asked.

The rancher looked out where he pointed and replied, Yep, that’s old Bessie.

The man said, Well, my car’s broken down, and she walks over, looks under the hood and says, ‘Looks like a bad carburetor to me.’

The rancher shook his head and said, Don’t mind old Bessie, son. She hangs around the garage, reads a couple of magazines, and thinks she knows everything—actually she don’t know a thing about carburetors.

A frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and was told, You are going to meet a beautiful young woman who will want to know everything about you.

The frog said, That’s great! Will I meet her at a party, or what?

No, said the psychic, Next term—in her biology class.

A man is caught sitting at a make-shift campfire by a forest ranger, and to the ranger’s horror, the man is eating a bald eagle. The man is consequently put in jail for the crime. On the day of his trial, the conversation goes something like this:

JUDGE: Do you know that eating a bald eagle is a federal offense?

MAN: Yes I do. But if you let me argue my case, I’ll explain what happened.

JUDGE: Proceed.

MAN: I got lost in the woods. I hadn’t had anything to eat for two weeks. I was so hungry. Next thing I see is a bald eagle swooping down at the lake for some fish. I knew that if I followed the eagle, I could maybe steal the fish. I caught up with the eagle who lighted upon a tree stump to eat the fish. I threw a stone toward the eagle hoping he would drop the fish and fly away. Unfortunately, in my weakened condition, my aim was off, and the rock hit the eagle squarely on his poor little head, and killed it. I thought long and hard about what had happened, but figured that since I killed it I might as well eat it since it would be more disgraceful to let it rot on the ground.

JUDGE: The court will take a recess while I consider your testimony.

(15 minutes go by and the judge returns.)

JUDGE: Due to the extreme circumstance you were under and because you didn’t intend to kill the eagle, the court will dismiss the charges.

The Judge then leans over the bench and whispers: If you don’t mind my asking, what does a bald eagle taste like?

MAN: Well your honor, it’s hard to explain. The best I can describe it is somewhere between a California condor and a spotted owl.

Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, Father, me dog is dead. Could ya’ be saying a mass for the poor creature?

Father Patrick replied, I’m afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there’s no tellin’ what they believe. Maybe they’ll do something for the creature.

Muldoon said, I’ll go right away, Father. Do ya’ think $5,000 will be enough to donate for the service?

Father Patrick exclaimed, Holy Canine! Why didn’t ya’ tell me the dog was Catholic?

A crafty old mountain lion used to hang around a ranch looking for stray cattle. One day he saw a bull off by himself and managed to kill it after a mighty battle. The bull was too heavy to drag off, so the mountain lion decided to just eat as much as he could hold. He ate and ate until he just couldn’t eat any more. This made him feel really good, so he let out a big roar. That made him feel even better, so he roared again. He kept it up until the rancher came and shot him.

Moral: When you are full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Some farmers were standing around shooting the breeze one day when the topic came around to animals and their distinguishing traits. The group agreed that the dog was probably the most loyal animal and the mule was undoubtedly the most stubborn.

Farmer Jones piped in, You know, I believe probably the friendliest animal in all God’s creation is the goose.

The others wanted to know how he arrived at such a conclusion. Well, he explained, I was out standing in my corn the other day, and a whole flock of ’em came by overhead. And, do you know, every single one of ’em honked and waved!

Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica—where do they go? It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life. The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintaining a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.

If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their wings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into and buried. The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:

Freeze a jolly good fellow
