Chickens on the Road

[ophelia]

'What the pluck is going on?' - one drivers reaction to the 5000 chickens on the road in Cavan after the truck in which they were been transported was in an accident.

Heres another one:
What do you call a chicken in a shellsuit?
An Egg.

I wonder did they hatch a plan?

 

[extopia]

I suspect fowl play here. Gardai are keeping abreast of the situation.

 

[Bamhan]

And Guess who will cover the story for RTE you got it Charlie Bird

 

[Capaill]

Now we know why the chicken crossed the road !!

 

[ClubMan]

Why did the chickens cross the road?
Because the truck jackknifed?

 

[jem]

All the cavan people are out on the road hoping to pick up free eggs for breakfast.

 

[extopia]

Careful now. Ubiquitous might take offense!

 

[ClubMan]

I'm heading up to Cavan at the weekend if anybody wants me to pick up a few.

 

[Audrey]

EGGcellent!

 

[DrMoriarty]

OK, enough with the bad puns, already...

I just want to know that some amateur cameraman, somewhere in Cavan, has recorded this event (and the subsequent clean-up) for posterity, because verbal descriptions just can't possibly do justice to it...

To whoever might have said footage — I suspect this is a HUGE-ly lucrative opportunity. This thing should definitely be in all the 'Reviews of the year, 2005', come early January..!

Don't you mean an oeuf with the bad puns?

 

[DrMoriarty]

Damn and blast! What was the video footage — just a few Cavan-based gardaí scooping up the mess afterwards? Because the actual event itself must have been a cinematographic feast...

 

[Henny Penny]

Here's a few little jokes:

What's a Hindu?
Lay eggs

Who was Ghandi's brother?
Goosey goosey

 

[DrMoriarty]

Groan... but touché!

[Edit: Have any cat-owners suddenly noticed an empty basket with a note in it saying 'Gone to Cavan for the weekend, seeya Monday...'?]

Re: just one more bad egg

Did I hear it referred to just now on the 9 0 clock news as the Crate Escape and how a few not captured were laying low at the moment?

Must have imagined it!

Nice the way RTE showed one woman happily stealing a few of the chickens.
