Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
A straight-faced investigation into the oldest joke in the book, and one very unimpressed hen.
The case of the chicken and the road.
The earliest known print of the riddle is in The Knickerbocker, a New York magazine, in March 1847, and there the chicken crosses a street. A grave documentary narrator reopens the case with Henrietta, a witness whose road keeps getting wider.
