One day Ma an Pa were out for a sunday drive. They're tootling along about 40 mph and Pa hears cluck cluck, looks down an running beside the car is a chicken, so Pa increases the speed to 60 mph, looks down and the hen's still there running along, not even sweating. Pa increases the speed even further to 80 mph, but then the hen makes a sharp right hand turn up a long driveway, so Pa follows the chicken. He pulls up outside an old shack where there's an old fella siting in a rocking chair on the porch. He then notices the hen has three legs an there are heaps of them running loose around the yard. He asks the old chap, "are these your hens?" To which he replies, "they is". The stranger then asks, "do you breed these chickens?" and again the old chap replies, "I duz". Then the stranger asks, "why have they got three legs?" The old chap says, "one leg for me, one for ma, and one for the boy". "Oh I see", says the stranger then asks, "what do they taste like?" to which the old chap says, "We don't know - never been able to catch one."
