Do you see the chickens all driving around in their flying cars? The flightless chickens used to be jealous of the ducks and geese and eagles. Then the greatest chicken scientists developed the flying cars so they could fly too. Now they're all up there in the sky in their little MG convertibles and big old Cadillacs, clucking away and having the time of their lives.
Humans are angry and resentful. Why can't human scientists make flying cars? They can make airplanes and helicopters and rocket ships, but not flying cars. Out of inimitable human conceit, the military launched the top-secret grade-A1-classified super-clandestine Operation Chicken Car Snatch. Three years after the project's conception, two seasoned air force pilots took off in the custom-built anti-poultritudinous helicoptocraft. They stealthily hid the aircraft in a cloud and when a chicken car flew below it, dropped a nearly-unbreakable elastic net in the chicken car's path. With the flying car securely trapped in the net, they flew back to the air force base where human scientists eagerly awaited them.
The scientists studied the car. They took it apart. They tested its materials. They tasted its fuel. They interviewed the captive chickens for hours in a whitewashed interrogation room. In the end though, their report was simply, "As far as we can tell, the car is nothing more than a regular MG convertible. The chickens are as stupid as every other chicken and have no capacity for conversation."
The four- and five-star generals in charge of Operation Chicken Car Snatch were furious and disappointed. But in the end, there was nothing they could do. The way things were and the way they still remain is that chickens have flying cars and humans do not.
As I said, most humans are angry and resentful, but I am not. I wouldn't want to drive in a flying car anyhow. I'm happy to stay on the ground.
