People are only just learning dark meaning behind 'chicken that crossed the road' joke A woman shared her surprise after apparently ‘finding out’ the meaning behind one of the world’s most famous jokes.
Another was happy to finally understand the joke, even with its darker meaning: “I must admit, I kind of appreciate the closure on this whole chicken crossing the road business.”.
Okay breathe… So right now I don’t know whether to be sad, cry, confused, impressed, or feel really stupid for thinking that d*** chicken was just on a mission to get to the other side of the freak’n road.

Her realisation started a debate in the replies section, with the post's audience divided on whether they had been left enlightened, mind-blown or still doubtful about the joke’s alleged new meaning.
