um... what?

Answer 3

im not sure how the chicken can be used as a measuring device, it seams like a poor choice of measuring stick in my opinion, any hints?

Answer 4

he is setting the chicken as a standard? It may not be a universal standard but it can still be used as a comparison between two lengths

Answer 5

Well what is he measuring? I mean, they used to use canaries in mines to detect the levels of toxic gases (not that a canary is a well-calibrated instrument), but it served the purpose effectively enough.

I would have to agree with that

Answer 16

there are two types of people, those that can extrapolate information from an incomplete question

Answer 17

we can distil that down further to say
ones who are crazy and ones that are not

Answer 21

Carl is a FDA inspector using a standard chicken to inspect a KFC chicken-producing plant and measure the ratio of chickens vs UNFAs (unidentified non-flying avians). That would certainly explain the apparent stress that he is exhibiting, being confronted to some horrifying 3-legged, headless-poultries.
