Believe it or not, this is the second post at the World's Fair which just has the word "chicken" three times in the title. Anyway, this went viral a few years ago, but for some reason I find it really really funny. Plus, it's on my mind because it relates a little to an event I'm involved in coming up, which is all about presentation and speaking opportunities.
Here's the paper (front page shown and link to pdf here)
And here is the video:
How he handles the question at the end is particularly inspired.

A Classic! Should be taught in all introductory science courses.

That's like one of the funniest talks I've ever seen. I think the person who's like howling in the back really adds to the video.

Excerpts from the poem by John Cooper Clark, "Evidently chicken town".
the fucking pubs are fucking dull
the fucking clubs are fucking full
of fucking girls and fucking guys
with fucking murder in their eyes
a fucking bloke is fucking stabbed
waiting for a fucking cab
you fucking stay at fucking home
the fucking neighbors fucking moan
keep the fucking racket down
this is fucking chicken town
the fucking cops are fucking keen
to fucking keep it fucking clean
the fucking chief's a fucking swine
who fucking draws a fucking line
at fucking fun and fucking games
the fucking kids he fucking blames
are nowehere to be fucking found
anywhere in chicken town
fuckin' stuck in chickentown
