'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?

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

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

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..!

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...

Here's a few little jokes:

What's a Hindu?
Lay eggs

Who was Ghandi's brother?
Goosey goosey

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!
