There is a produce farm just one block away from my apartment complex. Stranger than the randomness of a produce farm being one block away from my apartment complex is that the chickens roam around the lawn without any kind of fence or blocking them in. What keeps them from running free? What keeps them from escaping? What, what in the world keeps them from crossing the road? Perhaps the humor in the cliche' joke of "why did the chicken cross the road" is that they don't cross the road, ever. Maybe the darn road keeps them confined on the produce farm. |
