Why did the peahen cross the road?

To get to the other side, of course 😆 😆

    Ok, it's a terrible joke…. a little bit from Wikipedia: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" is one of the oldest and most famous joke riddles still in use in the English language. The most common answer to this riddle is "To get to the other side." When asked at the end of a series of other riddles, whose answers are clever, obscure, and tricky, this answer's obviousness and straight-forwardness becomes part of the humor. Some psychologists believe the riddle's humor comes from the fact that its answer is expected to be funny, but is not.

    Bitzy: She wasn't at all bothered by the occasional car that went by and seemed quite at home out there. She's probably done it before 😉

    Adele: I think she's wandered out from a local farm. Not quite as far from home as a pale headed rosella!

    I don't think I'll comment on the joke :whistle:

    Peahen on the loose…any idea where she came from? :confused: I'm hearing that a pale-headed rosella is flying around here, not for the first time :eyes:

    Because it ran out of juice! 😆 :jester: 😆 That was my favorite riddle when I was 6…maybe still is! 😉
