[ WP ] The Chicken is getting old and has retired from its job crossing the road , leaving the position open . You are an animal of your choice applying for the position .

`` Do you have any road-crossing experience?'' Steve the chicken bad been conducting interviews all day. His current applicant was a frog. 
 
 `` I have some, but really, it's a big part of my family,'' the frog replied. `` They even made a video game inspired by my grandfather.'' 
 
 Steve glanced down at the frogs resume, finding it lacking. He knew it was really going to come down to the final interview question. 
 
 `` And why will you be crossing the road?'' 
 
 The frog looked surprised by the question. `` Why? Well, I suppose because it will be my job to.'' He was nervous. 
 
 Steve stood and extended a wing. `` Thank you for your interest, we will be in touch if you are chosen for the position.'' He would n't be calling the frog. 
 
 Several roosters applied, a snake, a goose, and a few mice. None of them could answer Steve's question correctly. He had been doing this for *years*, and he needed to find a replacement. But how could he pick someone that could n't answer the simplest of questions? 
 
 The final applicant of the day was Jerry Buttercup, a small cat. His application showed that he grew up on the streets, and therefore had significant experience in crossing them. 
 
 The interview went better than Steve expected. Jerry was the perfect replacement; he was aware of his surroundings, he had superb reflexes, and an air of mystery. Steve almost did n't want to ask him, but he knew he had to. It was far too important. 
 
 `` Alright, Mister Buttercup, I have one final question for you. If chosen for this position, why will you be crossing the road?'' 
 
 Jerry smiled, and reached for a pen and paper. He scribbled on it, and slid it across the desk, face down. 
 
 Steve picked up the paper, smiled through his beak, and sent it through the cross-shredder. 
 
 `` You're hired, Mister Buttercup.''
