A farmer lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the
traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. Especially those speeding motorcyclists. 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 the farmer called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got
to do something about all of these people driving and riding 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 motorcyclists!"
So the next day he had the county workers go out and erected 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 bikers and cagers. 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 Wayland 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 the farmer do just about anything in order to get him to stop
calling every day to complain.
The sheriff got no more calls from the farmer.
Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the sheriff and he decided
to give the farmer a call. "How's the problem with those bikers. 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 riders in other areas..."
So the sheriff drove out to the farmer's house, and his jaw dropped the
moment he saw the sign. It was spray-painted on a sheet of plywood:
"NUDIST COLONY"
**Go slow and watch out for the chicks**
Speeders beware
