Don't you just hate it when a giant chicken crashes your City Council meeting? Well, actually, the City Council in Durango, Colorado thought it was kind of funny.
The choice sentence in this article that makes it all come together for me: "Several minutes later, the chicken left -- without being identified -- after laying an egg on the floor." It's this perfect blend of treating the guy like an actual chicken (saying it actually laid an egg) and like a man in a chicken suit (suggesting that it even could be identified).
But the real subtle joke here is even though this happened here in Colorado, the TV news station that posted this on their web site is in Tampa Bay, Florida. So, how little must there be going on in Tampa Bay that they have to import their "lighter side" stories?
