Farmer Jim lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the
traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate The traffic was so heavy and
so fast that his chickens
were being run over at a rate of three to six a day.
So one day Farmer Jim called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got
to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all
of my chickens."
"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff.
"I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!"
So the next day he had the county workers go out and erected a sign that
said:
SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later Farmer Jim called the sheriff and said, "You've got to do
something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' sign seems to make
them go even faster."
So, again, the sheriff sends out the county workers and they put up a new
sign:
SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY
That really sped them up. So Farmer Jim called and called and called every
day for three weeks. Finally, he asked the sheriff,
"Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign?"
The sheriff told him: "Sure thing, put up your own sign."
He was going to let Farmer Jim do just about anything in order to get him
to stop calling everyday to complain.
The sheriff got no more calls from Farmer Jim. Three weeks later,
curiosity got the best of the Sheriff and he decided to give Farmer Jim a
call:
"How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?"
"Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got
to go. I'm very busy." He hung up the phone.
The sheriff was really curious now and he thought to himself:
"I'd better go out there and take a look at that sign. It might be
something that WE could use to slow down drivers."
So the sheriff drove out to Farmer Jim's house, and his jaw dropped the
moment he saw the sign. It was spray painted on a sheet of wood:
NUDIST COLONY
Go slow.
And watch out for chicks!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
