"Hey... listen to this riddle I just read." "Ohh, goodie... I'm great at riddles." "A man has a fox, a chicken, and some corn. He has to take them all across a river. He can only take one of the items at a time in his boat." "However, if he leaves the fox alone with the chicken, the fox will eat the chicken. If he leaves the chicken alone with the corn, the chicken will eat the corn." "What should he do?" "Buy a bigger boat." "It's not that hard if you think about it."

Bring the chicken, make him into a McChicken, shoot the fox for wanting your burger, and last sell the corn.

The man and the chicken cross the river, (the fox and corn are safe together), he leaves the chicken on the other side and goes back across.
The man then takes the fox across the river, and since he can’t leave the fox and chicken together, he brings the chicken back.
Again, since the chicken and corn can’t be left together, he leaves the chicken and he takes the corn across and leaves it with the fox.
He then returns to pick up the chicken and heads across the river one last time.
