So... why did the chicken...?

I am concerned with why the chicken supposedly crossed the road, simply because the answer is relevant to a bigger question: why did the man cross the road? Well, that we know. The man crossed the road because he heard the chicken was a slut. 

Ergo, if the chicken was indeed a slut, it crossed the road for 1 of 4 reasons: 
1) it had reasons to believe there was more clientelle on the other side of the road. 
2) it had already performed sexual services on the man, who subsequently crossed the road too, and was trying to get rid of him. Possibly to find someone else to screw for money. 
3) there was a KFC outlet, whose deliveries had fallen through that day and the chicken had to get lost asap. Starting with crossing the road. 
4) The chicken was utterly hammered and didn't know what it was doing. So it zig-zagged across to the other side of the road.  

Of course, I am well aware that the validity of the argument is dependant on the major presupposition that the chicken which crossed the road was the exact same chicken that the man followed. Furthermore, the argument is also based on the presupposition that the rumour of the man-who-crossed-the-road-because-he-heard-the-chicken-was-a-slut is factual and not fictitious. 

Concluding, I have briefly outlined, in a vivid manner, some of the problems hidden in otherwise simple anecdotes, such as this one.  With further questions, confusions, logical equations or news on the whereabouts of the chicken, please write back.
