when a chicken crosses the road?
Ticket the darn thing, of course!
But some chickens get off the hook.
RIDGECREST, Calif. – A chicken that got a ticket for crossing the road has clawed his way out of it. The $54 citation for impeding traffic was dismissed Friday after Linc and Helena Moore’s attorney argued that the fowl was domesticated and could not be charged as livestock.
Ah yes. this makes perfect sense. (Registration required to read, but it’s free and I’ve never been hassled by the Merc.)
