So why did the chicken cross the road?

I was asked that question when I was interviewed recently for a website. How would you answer it? You see it's not really a joke, it's a philosophical statement. Your answer, or your expectation of an answer, can tell us something. By emphasising the 'did' you're hoping that there is a final answer. My answer must be that even a chicken can realise that to get a better life, action and determination are required. The chicken overcame her fear, took calculated risks and made it safely across the road into a field of golden corn.

So there's my take on it, positive but not really very funny. What would you say?
