Maybe it was a suicide bomber from Henbollah. It didn’t have the guts (or giblets) to go through with it though. Because it was, you know… ---

I showed this thread to my husband, who is now holding his sides and about breathless from laughing. I think you folks made his day [and mine too]. ---

I thought the preferred method of chicken disposal was choking it. Repeatedly. ---

[QUOTE=Jimson Jim] From [this story](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080610/ap_on_fe_st/odd_chicken_bomb) I know it’s not funny. But that sentence just doesn’t seem real.

Calm down, **Bosda**! It says upthread that the two threads were merged into one so both titles were combined it appears. It doesn’t appear to be a theft of your fantastic thread title. ---

Q: What do you get when you cross threads about exploding pipe-bomb chickens/birds? A1: Egg on your face? (And a 2 square mile radius as well?) A2: An extremely unstable source of protien? A3: Red Sox nation bus trips to Camden Yards? A4: “If the theory holds true, this could be… Anti-Stuffing…!” A6: Two sides of cornbread, 2 mashed potatos, 2 corn on the cob and all with a bucket of extra crispy pipe-bombed goo? ( And for a limited time, its only $8.99. Only at KFC…) ---

Why did the chicken cross the road? To become a roadside bomb, that´s why. ---

**Bosda** , please see post 18. I merged the threads. **Jimson Jim** ’s was posted several hours before yours, so I combined the thread titles because I wanted both headings to be saved. ---
