"Weird Chicken (an old joke)" joke

There's this guy, and he's just bought a new car, so he wants to take it into the country to see how fast it can go. Now, he gets it up to about 80 miles per hour when this chicken runs up beside him and starts to pass him. The guy cranks up the speed to 90 mph, and same as before, the chicken starts to pass him. So he gets his speed up to 100 miles per hour, and the chicken veers off to the right.

The guy screeches to a halt, backs up, and then follows the chicken down a small country road. After quite some time, the guy comes across a small farm. He sees a farmer working in the fields.

He gets out of his car and walks over to the farmer and says "Is that your chicken?"

"You bet that's my chicken," replies the farmer.

"How does it go so fast?" asks the guy.

"Why, it's got three legs, that's why."

The guy looks at the farmer strangely. "Why does it have three legs?"

"Well, I like a chicken leg, my wife likes a chicken leg, and my son likes a chicken leg," replies the farmer very sensibly.

"Err...Well, how do they taste?" asks the guy.

"Well, I dunno, I haven't caught one yet."
