Three-legged chicken

Juan was driving down a country lane in his truck when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken was speeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn't catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing it turn into a small farm, Juan followed it.

To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of the chickens had three legs.

The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That's astonishing!"

The farmer replied, "Yes. I breard them that way because I love drumsticks.

Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"

The farmer smiled. "I don't know, I haven't been able to catch one yet."

Chicken is greatest

A lion, a gorilla and a chicken were bragging in a bar.

"I am the greatest," said the gorilla. "When I beat my chest everyone backs away respectfully."

"No, I am the greatest," said the lion. "When I roar everyone in earshot runs away screaming."

"Ha!" said the chicken. "You should see the worldwide media reaction if I so much as sneeze..."

- back away (from sb/sth) dời khỏi, lui khỏi 1 thứ (ai đó/ cái gì đó) đáng sợ hoặc khó ưa.
When I beat my chest everyone backs away respectfully.

- in earshot: trong tầm nghe thấy.
When I roar everyone in earshot runs away screaming.

- so much as: được dùng để nhấn mạnh điều gì đó không hề mong đợi.
...if I so much as sneeze...
