Three Legged Chicken

Bd6353001 Radical innovation explained

A man was driving along a freeway when he noticed a chicken running along side his car. He was amazed to see the chicken keeping up with him because he was doing 80 km. He accelerated to 90 and the chicken stayed right next to him. He speeded up to 110 and the chicken passed him up. The man noticed the chicken had three legs.

So, he followed the chicken down a road and ended up at a farm. He got out of his car and saw that all the chickens had three legs. He asked the farmer "What's up with these chickens?" The farmer said "Well, everybody likes chicken legs. I bred a three legged bird. I'm going to be a millionaire." The man asked him how they tasted. The farmer said "Don't know, haven't caught one yet."

Bet you McDonalds would be interested in that invention!
