Three Legged Chicken

John was driving his pickup down a country lane, when suddenly a chicken darts out into the road in front of him He's just about to slam on his brakes to avoid the chicken when he realizes that the chicken has sped on ahead doing about 30 miles per hour Amazed, he sped up to follow, but the chicken takes off faster and faster Finally the chicken screeches into a turn and goes into a small farm As he turns to follow, John notices that the chicken has THREE legs

He pulls to a stop in front of the farm house, and looking around, notices that ALL the chickens have 3 legs.

He says to the farmer ``THREE-legged chickens? Thats astounding!''

The Farmer replies ``Yes, I bred them that way--I love drumsticks.''

John: ``Well, tell me, how does a 3 legged chicken taste?''

Farmer: ``I don't know. I haven't been able to catch one yet''
