One day a traveling salesman is driving down a back country road at about 30 mph when he notices that there is a three-legged chicken running alongside his car.
He steps on the gas and gets his speed up to 50 miles per hour.
The chicken is still keeping up.
He steps on the gas again and gets his speed up to 70 miles per hour.
The chicken is still keeping up.
After this goes on for about a mile of running, the chicken suddenly turns off the road and runs up a farm lane and into a barn behind an old farm house.
The salesman, amazed by what he has just seen, backs his car up, turns on to the farm lane, and drives up to the old farm house.
He parks his car, gets out, and walks up to the front door.
He knocks on the door and when the farmer, the owner of the house, answers, he tells him what he has just seen.
The farmer says "Oh, I can explain that. I'm an experimental geneticist, and I've developed this new breed of chicken because my wife, my son and I each like a drumstick when we have chicken for dinner, and this way we only have to use one chicken."
Then the farmer adds "But I also found that an unexpected feature of this new breed of chicken is that it can run incredibly fast."
"That"s the most fantastic thing I've ever heard," said the salesman.
"So how do they taste?" he then asks the farmer.
"We don't know," says the farmer.
"We've never been able to catch one."
