Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road is a very old joke, The joke appeared during a 1847 of The Knickerbocker, Which is a New York monthly magazine

There are many types of the joke, such as:

"Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the idiot's house. ...Knock-knock." ("Who's there?") "The chicken."

"Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide."

"Why did the chewing gum cross the road? It was stuck to the chicken's foot."

"Why did the whale cross the ocean? To get to the other tide."

"Why did the dinosaur cross the road? Chickens didn't exist yet."

"Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side."

A mathematical version asks, "Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip? To get to the same side." (I took all this shit from wikipedia lol)
Here is an example:

Johnathan: "Hey, I got a joke."

Brook: "Spit it out dude."

Johnathan: "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Brook: "Johnathan, You said this joke about 76 times, The answer is to get to the other side, Dude your so lame."

Johnathan: ":("

star- crossed lovers

the kind of lovers that for some external reason cannot be together. originates from an old tale, where 7 daughters of a god and goddess lived in some sort of heaven, one of them was a weaver, the best actually. she begged her mother to let her go down to earth, after a while her mother agreed but she had to go with her sisters. they were all playing around in a little river when all of the sudden a man appeared, he was a farmer he was walking with some kind of cow, and he fell for her, she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen and so did she. she decided to stay with him to make a life of their own and they did. until she decided to go visit her family in the heavens, her mother was furious, she actually did not let her go back down to earth for a while, it didn't matter how much she begged her mother wouldn't break, after what it felt like years her mother agreed to let her go down again but she wouldn't be able to go back to her anymore. so she did. even after everything that happened they were able to love each other in the end.
