A farmer 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 he
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 drivers."
So the next day he had the county go out and put up a sign
that said:
SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING.
Three days later the farmer called the sheriff and said,
"You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school
crossing' sign seems to make them go faster."
So, again, the sheriff sends out the county and they put up a
new sign:
SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY.
And that really sped them up. So the farmer called and called
and called everyday for three weeks. Finally, he asked the
sheriff, "Your signs are doing no good. Is it all right for
me to put up my own damned sign?"
The sheriff told him,
"Hell, yes, put up your own sign."
He was going to let the farmer do just about anything in
order to have him stop calling.
Well, the sheriff got no more calls from the farmer. Three
weeks after the farmer's last call, the sheriff decided to
call him.
"How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your
sign?"
"Oh, hell yes. And not one chicken has been killed since
then. I've got to go. I'm very busy."
And he hung up the phone.
The sheriff though to himself, "I'd better go to that
farmer's house and look at that sign. There might be
something there that WE could use to slow down drivers..."
So the sheriff drove out to the farmer's house, and he saw
the sign. It was a whole sheet of plywood. And written in
large yellow letters were the words:
SLOW: NUDIST COLONY.
