Why did the chicken cross the road?

There's this little joke:
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To get over to the other side!

Would you argue with the answer?

"Are you sterotyping chickens? one chicken crossing the road doesn't mean that  all the chickens are crossing the road!"

Definitely you won't argue much with humour. But some people actually did:

"You being a business student, I respect your point of view. You are talking in terms of looks, being able to talk to them and what would their job titles look like. Previous post was talking about the future aspects, what advantages do you get from having an engineer as a boyfriend. I do not even see a point of you posting this in the first place. Everything you are talking here are stereotypes."

"Most study engineering but are not engineers; we are just being trained that way, way back when we are being intensely drilled on Mathematics and Science during our youth. People just continue doing what they have been taught and the only they know."

"27 year old engineer will be having a respectable job, enough money to buy a car, a house, invest and get married? Which country is the author from?
Average Singaporean MALE university freshgrads are 25 years old, some even 26-27 if they had polytechnic education prior to university. 2 years can probably get you enough money to buy a car, a house, invest and get married in Libya probably, not in Singapore.
you need at least FOUR years to get to become a professional engineer under the Professional Engineering Act (Chapter 253) Sect. 15....." 

 "2)What on earth is this. Have you even talked to an engineering student before? Did all of them talked to you regarding all of the above or did you just make it up? Perhaps too much movies and shows made you think engineers only talk things which are related to themselves."

 
 dudes.. like seriously?

(we'll be doing a blogpost on why bankers make good partners next week so please DON'T SHOOT ME AGAIN)
