Three-Legged Chicken

A man was driving up the interstate late one night when he was amazed to see a strange animal pass him at a great speed. He accelerated in an attempt to catch up with it, but the creature was far too quick. He faintly saw it run off the highway at the following exit.

He followed, only to see it jump over a hedge and disappear into some woods. Nearby stood a farmhouse; the driver stopped his car, walked up to the door and knocked. The driver apologized to the farmer for bothering him and asked him about the creature.

"Oh yes," said the farmer, "that’s one of my specially bred three-legged chickens. I bred them so that when we have roast chicken for dinner, my wife, my son and myself can have a chicken leg each."

"Really?" asked the man. "That’s amazing! How do they taste?"

"I don’t know," replied the farmer. "I haven’t been able to catch one yet."
