Kicker - A fowl spy

NICK EICHER, HOST: Authorities at the Pentagon took an unnamed trespasser into custody last week.

Thankfully, the interloper was not armed. In fact, it doesn’t have arms—well—because chickens have wings, not arms.

Security personnel say “for actual security reasons” they are “not allowed to disclose the exact location” where they found the chicken. But the bird has been relocated to its new permanent home at an animal sanctuary nearby.

And we can also be thankful to know the answer to the age-old question…

REICHARD: Why did the chicken cross the road?

EICHER: To get to the Pentagon.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
