Martin Luther King : It had a dream.
L.A. Police Department: Give us ten minutes with the chicken and we'll find out.
Grandparents: In our day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken had crossed the road, and that was good enough for us. And besides that, it had to cross it barefoot, while walking 10 miles to school in the snow before breakfast.
