The Chicken in the 'Verse

FIREFLYFANS.NET:
"***Why did the chicken cross the road?***

Mal: Because the other side of the road was the only place it could live life on its own terms, without being meddled with.

ZoĆ«: Because that’s where the job was, Sir.

Wash: It followed a really hot girl chicken that could kill it with its pinky. Do chickens have pinkies? No? We’ll I don’t know then.

Jayne: The money was better over there. (mutters) Lousy seven percent...

Kaylee: To meet shiny new chickens and see the sights.

Simon: That’s where the Alliance was hiding its sister.

River: To get to the other side.

Inara: It just suddenly, for no apparent reason, decided to pick up and abandon the luxurious life it had on this side of the road. That’s not odd, is it?

Book: It was a pilgrimage. Wracked with guilt over the atrocities it had committed, the chicken decided to devote the remainder of its life to God in a desperate search for redemption. Just a guess.

Jubal: What did you say? Am I a road?

YoSafBrige: Because you were over there, sweetie.

The Operative: The chicken’s motivations are not my concern. Getting it across the road is. "

  1. The "Other Side Of The Road" is really just a subconscious manifestation of the inner turmoil every being experiences as a part of being in a universe governed by tension between positive and negative. The other side of the road doesn't really exist. Space and Time are just illusions.

  2. Nicely done :)

    It's all really just one road anyways.

    And that chicken? Just your chicken nature.
