"Their latest plan to expand market share is brilliant: the chicken-flavored Slurpee."
 
 
Xavier:
"I applaud the poultry industry's plan to downplay their risky use of chemical pesticides, growth-stimulating antibiotics, and genetic modification by giving away free X-Chicken mutant action figures."

cartoon image of Chan Chan:
"The smartest thing they ever did was keep poultry on everyone's minds by perpetuating the myth that all weird foods taste 'sort of like chicken'..."

FUNNY QUOTES RELATED TO  Chicken
 

From Roseanne

[waits on a customer]

Roseanne: "Can I help you?"

Customer: "Uh, yeah. Which is better, the tuna salad or the egg salad?"

Roseanne: "Tuna salad... egg salad... chicken salad... turkey salad... shrimp salad. What difference does it make? It's all just different words for mayonnaise. Pick one."

From 30 Rock

Tracy Jordan: "You don't have to thank me, Liz Lemon. We're a team now. Like Batman and Robin. Like chicken, and a chicken container."

From Cheers

Cliff: "Well, you know, millions believe in reincarnation."

Coach: "You mean, like when you come back as a chicken?"

Cliff: "Well, not necessarily as a chicken, Coach. The Hindus believe that what you come back as depends on your behavior in this life. You know, if you led a good life, you come back in an elevated state."

Coach: "Like Colorado!"

From Lost in Space

Robot: "Will Robinson! I will tell you a joke! Why did the robot cross the road? Because he was carbon-bonded to the chicken!"
