Chicken Banana Theory
A man walks down the street and encounters another man. This other man believes he is a chicken, and promptly approaches the first man to inform him of this amid a series of chicken-noises. The first man acknowledges this, and hurries past.
Later, the first man is walking back along this same path and encounters the same man, though this time, the other man no longer believes that he is a chicken, but rather a banana.
This is an illogical transition– one cannot logically explain it by tracking the events that led to this mental transfiguration from chicken to banana. You cannot, for example, say that the man woke u

with apologies to Schonberg, Boublil, and Kretzmer
Do you hear the chickens cluck?
Crowing the song of angry hens?
It is the music of a poultry
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your wings
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
With the drum machine and synth,
Who will be strong and cluck with me?
Beyond the labyrinth
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the chickens cluck?
Crowing the song of angry hens?
It is the music of a poultry

But sci-fi movies were cool with you, even if the person beside you had fallen asleep in the midst of it. The fourth movie was on and it was hilarious seeing the lame special-effects compared to the previous movie.
Turning slightly, you scanned America's face; he looked so peaceful, almost like a big child. Giggling a bit, a small blush ran across your cheeks and you rested on his shoulder again,"Hey America..."
He didn't budge.

In Which There Are Chickens Dimly lit feet stamped the ground like drums, and high pitched, crazed yattering rose to a crescendo as the dancers moved in a rather wobbly circle. A painted feather floated on the air for a moment and then fell to the earth, trampled. In the middle of the circle of dancers, next to the arcane light, was the Ancient One. Next to him stood a Young One, staring around as if totally, completely, and perhaps fatally bored. The Ancient One's voice rose in preface to the judgement. The light flickered threateningly, rebounding off of the circle of white dancers.In Which There Are Chickens6 years ago in Humor More Like This

To you a chicken might just be an ugly, dirty, loud bird
They walk in mud
They make a loud clucking sound
And they poop all over their pen
But before you insult this “dirty, loud” bird
Think about the person who
Picked this one little chick out from thirty
Who carried this soft little baby home
and worked on calming the frightened infant
The person who built it’s temporary coop by hand
Who set up everything to care for it
The person who got up early ever single morning
Just to make sure they were warm and had enough water
Who went in the barn multiple times a day

" 'Cause I'm a redneck woman~I ain't no high class broad~I'm just a product of my raising~I say, "Hey y'all!" and "Yee-Haw!"~" You sang with your friends playing the guitar and banjo behind you. It was a Friday in the middle of summer. The air was hotter than ever and humid as hell. A few menacing thunder bumpers seemed to be creeping closer in the distance. 'The perfect weather!' You smiled as you sang. Your best friend Alfred's brother was visiting from, God knows where, Al refused to tell you, and he had the idea to put on this huge shin dig to welcome him.

Antonio opened his eyes to find Romano standing behind the chair and looking down on him. "Yes, Romano? What is it?" he asked, his eyes wider than usual.
