   Title: Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road? ¤

 Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

 Pavlov:
 Through conditioning to associate the action with a reward, road
 crossing became a conditioned reflex.

 B.F. Skinner:
 Because the R+ of road crossing exceeded the P- of NOT crossing.

 Bill Koehler:
 Because he had been taught the consequences of NOT crossing the road.

 Karen Pryor:
 Any subject, even a chicken, properly reinforced can be trained to cross
 a road.

 Terry Ryan:
 To get a Bonus Bone.

 Gary Wilkes:
 Because that's where the target was.

 Labrador-L List:
 Perhaps it was actually being fetched across the road by a Lab?

 Service-Dog list:
 Every ADA compliant chicken has a legal right to cross the road!

 HT-AIDE-Dog List:
 How would you go about training that?

 I wish there wasn't so much flaming on this list.  I just asked a simple
 question, and today I got half a dozen nasty posts that don't say
 anything but UNSUBSCRIBE!

   Who are those people, and what makes them think that they know
   anything about chickens?
