The mighty chicken


A bear, a lion and a chicken meet.

Bear says: "if I roar in the forest, the entire forest is shivering with
fear."

Lion says: "if I roar in the desert, the entire desert is afraid of me."

Says the chicken: "big deal I only have to cough, and the entire planet
s***'s itself."
