The Three-Legged Chicken Bernard was driving along a country road when and realized he had to make a phone call. He was miles from a pay phone so he decided to stop in at the next farmhouse he found. As he was approaching a house he noticed a three-legged chicken racing along the road. He followed the chicken and clocked it at 40 m.p.h. Well, when Bernie got to the farmhouse he asked the farmer about this wonderful chicken. The farmer replied, "Well now, when I was at the college I took up a studyin' at there gee- netics. 'Round here we love chicken and we're all mighty partial to the drumstick, so I thought I'd see if I could make me a three-legged chicken. So, there 'tis." Now Bernie was quite impressed. He asked, "How does it taste?" The farmer replied, "Well, that's the durndest thing. Ah don't know. Ain't none of us been able to ketch one a the varmits yet."
