This is from Bryan, and it made me laugh so hard I had to pass it on verbatim.
Whose job is it to think of these things?  I think I've found my calling...

	In the airline industry, all new airplanes must pass what is known
as the chicken test. In this test, engineers will fire about 20-30 GROSS
of chickens (purchased from the local Kroger ot whatever) at the engines of 
the new aircraft. The engines that don't stall out pass the inspection.
	Well, a train company was instaling a new safety glass in their engine
cars. But before they installed this new glass in all their engines, they 
wanted to test the effectiveness of the glass. So they ordered their own 
"chicken test." They brought in a cannon, had someone put a chicken in the 
cannon, aimed the cannon at the glass of the engine, and fired. The chicken 
went through the glass, through the conductors chair, and lodged itself in 
the metal wall behind the chair.

	Someone had put a frozen chicken in the cannon.

	You know, Einstein once said something to the effect of,"There are
only two things that are truly infinite - the universe and man's stupidity.
And I'm not exactly sure of the former."

	How true, how true....
