| Drivers found themselves contending with more than holiday traffic Friday when a chicken was found crossing the road. Northbound Interstate 17 remains backed up north of Loop 101 after a rooster tried to cross the freeway about 11 a.m. at Arizona 74. "It's just a busy holiday - and of course the rooster," said Officer Robert Bailey, a DPS spokesman. "The rooster only compounded matters." An officer removed the uninjured bird within 40 minutes, but Bailey expects the heavy Fourth of July traffic to remain slow-and-go through late this evening. The officer gave the rooster a ride to New River in the back of a patrol car where the fowl was released. "Luckily there's a cage back there so the rooster wasn't flying in the driver's compartment," Bailey said. |

| #10 Barbara, how many banjo players does it take to eat a 'possum? Two - one to eat and one to keep an eye out for traffic. |

| #9 Just grease it! No, wait, they'd be calling the boys in the moon suits to clean up the toxicity. Golly, it'd take hours and hours to clear the jam. Better stop, maybe someone here is in charge of chickens. Let's see, if I short out the battery on this laptop, bet it would cook a couple of these hot dogs while we wait and maybe make a few sparks for the 4th while I'm at it. But would that be ok to do? I mean, is it allowed? |

| #7 "if they ran it over, how would ACORN register it to vote in pivotal 2010 congressional contests?" Hell, if they can't figure out how to do that, they can ask Chicago - where the dead have been voting for decades. |

| #1 Why did the chicken cross the road? To prove to the 'possum it could be done. *ducks and runs for cover* |
