eve11Oldest Joke in the UT by Eve11
Summary: In the ensuing stillness, we are all left to wonder, why? (ensemble characters. didn't want to list all in the character field.)
Author Notes: Just a bit of dren cooked up on a message board. Forgot to archive it before. Haven't seen any of these around yet, but then, I haven't really been looking. No spoilers :) Not all of these are mine: thanks to a sister and a significant other, and to Huzzlewhat for Stark.
--------------------------------
A desolate planet sprawls before us in dun and red. Dry, cracked terrain extends as far as the eye can see, wavering and shimmering in the heat. Upon this desert is one sole remarkable feature: a black tar asphalt highway, straight-line stretching away to parts unknown. As we watch, a small feathered creature streaks across our view, wings extended, and with a deft squawk, half tumbles, half glides from one side of the road to the other.
In the ensuing stillness we are all left to wonder, why?
Captain Crais (season 1): To avenge its brother's death!
D'Argo: There is only one way to find out. (unsheathes Qu'alta blade, lunges after chicken into path of oncoming truck)
Rygel: It's not here, so what the yotz does it matter why it crossed? We should leave while we've got the chance!
Zhaan: It is still a child. In time it will realize that the goddess cannot be sought through such worldly methods.
Pilot: I'm not sure, but Moya is very scared of chickens.
Chiana: Well I didn't know it would cross the frelling road, I was just trying to have a little fun, okay?
Jool: Cretin, I've got seven advanced degrees and you're asking me about chickens?
Aeryn: Look, it was trained to be a chicken, and that's what chickens do, they cross roads.
Captain Crais (season 3): No Talyn! Do not fire on the chicken, it poses no threat!
Scorpius: Only the Aurora Chair can extract that information. (alternate Scorpy: Insignificant. What does it know about wormholes?)
Stark: This is my side! That's the chicken's side! My side, chicken's side! My side, chicken's side!
Harvey: You already know the answer; quite the philosophical pearl amidst this ocean of drivel.
(and finally)
John Crichton: *blinks* Wait, wait, lemme get this straight. . . you mean to tell me the CHICKEN crossed the ROAD?
