From Lostpedia:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

* Sayid: Just give me 10 minutes alone with that chicken and I'll know why.
* Alvar Hanso: Since the dawn of time, chickens have been curious about the other side of the road.
* Sawyer:In the long con, you make the chicken think that it was its idea to get to the other side, but it's really your idea.
* Ben: Why do you think my people aren't already on the other side, just waiting for that chicken?
* Arzt: What!!? If you were paying attention you would know that under certain weather conditions the Gallus domesticus or domestic Chicken has a tendency to wander on hard surfaces. Now the Coturnix coturnix japonica or Japanese Quail will never cross the road. Are you listening? This WILL be on the test.
