I, for one, would like to live in a world where a chicken may perambulate without having its motives continually questioned. |

The subtlety of the pun is lost with the change in colloquial references to Death as "the Other Side" (common in the 19th century origin of the quip).
Thus: the suicidal nature of the chicken, as well as the morbid wordplay,
are lost to a modern audience. |

19th century chickens were suicidal? Who knew? Still, must have cut down on butchering time and cost. |
