Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.
So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Here we go... No cheating...
Why have chickens no fear of a future state?
And the answer is:
Because they have their next world (necks twirled) in this.
Yes, that's right. It's a barnyard slaughter joke. Hooray! Thanks to all of you who answered. I think we've officially all given up trying to come up with the "right" answer. All the better! Your responses are far more amusing!
Come back next Friday for another of Mr. Punch's Puzzles.

Because of all the METH they get from the sheep.
What kind of petting zoos did you visit as a child?
Because they are really stupid, but delicious, birds.
Aha...more barnyard hate. I see how this will go.
It goes against their grain.
Oh! Ha! Clever.
Because they stay ABREAST of current events. See what I did? Lalalala.
Brilliant, Carolyn. Just brilliant! Let's see what else when can come up with.
Because they have a WING and a prayer...Ha!! More chicken body part humor! And, I agree with Sam, they are delicious - at least the ones that haven't had all the Meth... :)
Because they're chicken! Like, they're scared.
Clever punning, Shawn. And, yes, meth does tend to alter the taste. That's why you have to be careful from whom you buy your drug-addicted chicken.
Angelo, ummmm. That's a very philosophical answer.
Because they put their eggs in one basket. I don't know a lot about chickens, Joseph.
Maybe not, but I like your reasoning skills.
Because they peck and choose.
Ha!
They have no fear of state nor county nor even country because they're free range.
They look forward to getting fried.
Oh, really, chickens aren't really long term planners you know.
Very funny, Darcy!
True, Dashwood. Chickens aren't known for their goals.
Another stab:
They're more concerned about Cluck and Clock.
Boo.
That was unexpected, Dashwood.
Maybe they don't give a cluck.
Maybe, Book Gurl. And vaguely dirty.
They expect a coop.
Oh, Gene...always creative.
