An American chicken escaped a jaywalking fine after wandering onto a rural Californian road. California bans livestock from highways and the fowl was fined $54, but a lawyer for the couple got the case dismissed after arguing that the bird was domesticated.



The Moores say they were fined because of their repeated complaints that local authorities had not done enough to curb off-road drivers.



"For the last two-and-a-half years, no-one has been able to stop the kids riding their bikes in the middle of the road or the neighbours' dogs running around our neighbourhood," Linc Moore was quoted as saying.



"But when our chicken escaped and crossed the road once it became a huge issue."



Officials from the sheriff's department rejected the allegations.



The couple are now seeking legal assistance to file harassment charges against Kern County's Sheriff Department.

if the bird continued to cross the road unattended they could face a minor misdemeanour infraction,



They should hire an attendant. Obvious really.

Would that be tax-deductible?

And can you see it on your resume? "May-Aug 2005, chicken escort" ... tongue

"why did the chicken cross the road?"
"to fuck with the US judicial system"
AND HOW!?!

well, that's another question answered. off to the box with the chicken and the egg. OBVIOUSLY, the egg came first, because the chicken is a mutation of another species. therefore the mutated egg hatched the chicken, and voila, KFC!!!!

is anyone sensing a chicken theme among timeless riddles?

BUHK AWWWWWW!!!!!
