Chicken
Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch
dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, and military
jets, all traveling at maximum velocity.
The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions
with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.
American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test
it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements
were made and a gun was sent to the American engineers. When
the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken
hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield,
smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console,
snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself
in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.
The horrified Americans sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results
of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield
and begged the British scientists for suggestions.

Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo: "Defrost the chicken."
