Why did the chicken cross the road?

In some frames of reference the road crossed the chicken.

(The Einstein Reverse - a distant relative of the "in Soviet Russia, chicken crosses you" gag).

Guy is out ice fishing with his son. He opens a can of peas and begins laying them on the ice all around the hole. His son asks why?

"When a fish comes up to take a pea, we get him".

With apologies to Garrison Keilor

Peas were one of the few things my son would reliably eat when he was little. He was happily scoffing a plate of them the day he was a year and a half old, so I explained to a friend that it was his eighteen month birthday and we were out on the peas.

That's not true. Moses's ark is the ark of the 10 commandments:

Now, pairs of animals though? Nope

I start to combine this joke with the fact that the Russians in a town I once visited used a different signal, the one we usually use for "Please slow down! Danger ahead." If it was linked to the average temperature?
