The Chicken Crossed the road

Willy found an article recently that told about how every day a colorful character visits a fried chicken restaurant outside Memphis and loudly announces his arrival - with a crow.
Nobody seems to know where the red rooster came from, but The Commercial Appeal (http://bit.ly/HXYQZ1 ) reported he first showed up about three months ago and has been a daily fixture ever since at Gus' Fried Chicken in Collierville.
He's been known to cross a busy street, but most often crows from a fenced field across the street from the restaurant.
Collierville Animal Services has been trying to catch him. Shelter manager John Robinson says he doesn't want the cocky fowl to meet an untimely end at the paws of a raccoon or other predator.
Robinson said of the bird that he fears no man - or Gus.

Well, Willy wonders what is going on there.  Did the owner bring him in.  One thing about it Willy knows why that Chicken crossed the road.

10-4 Willy

I read this yesterday and had to chuckle. He's just not aware of where he is.

Have a terrific day Willy. :)
