Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

To get to the other side.

It's pretty funny if you think about it.  Dumb question, you are going to get a dumb answer.  That probably why most people don't laugh when an adult tells it, and only softly chuckle when a kid says it, because it's cuter with that little kid voice.

You do dumb things, the possibility of dumb things happening as a consequence increases. 

I do a lot of driving to and from work.  I see a lot of crazy stuff on the interstate.  Here are a few:
Talking on a cell phone without a headset.

• Emailing or texting on their cell phone
• Reading their emails
• I have seen a person have their computer on their steering wheel and working while talking on the phone
• Reading a book
• Eating a full course meal - this included buttering bread.
• Putting on makeup
• Completely turned around and either looking for something in the back seat, talking to another or maybe yelling at their kids
• Dog sitting in the dashboard on the driver side
• Changing clothes - that at times is a little awkward depending on what they are changing
• Painting fingernails
• Brushing teeth
• Putting in eyedrops
• Knitting (seriously)
• Making out with their passenger

I'm sure there is more I can't remember.  Needless to say these involve a lot of swerving by that car and at times by me to avoid them.  These things occur not only in a normal car/truck/suv, I have seen a few of these by semi truck drivers.

I am sure I am guilty of a few in the past.  I usually can detect if soemthing is going on in a car is they are going usually slow, gliding partly in and out of the shoulder, etc.  My husband and I (if driving together) have a guessing game at what the person must be doing, so when we pass the strange driver, then the winner of our guessing game is decided when we see what crazy is going on.

So be careful out there!
