Why did the chicken cross the road?

Wilmot "Mutty" Perkins, talk show host:
"I'll tell you why that chicken crossed the road. I'll bet it was getting a government contract to cross the road. Can you believe this? How much more of this can Jamaicans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars. Your money, the money that the government took from you to build a road for chickens to cross. That chicken needs a lawyer."
