A funny from a friend....
Farmer Vernon lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the
traffic slowly built up and became so heavy and fast that his free range
chickens were being run over every day.
So he called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about
all of these people driving so fast and killing my chickens."
"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff.
Farmer Vernon said, "I don't care. Just do something about those drivers."
So the next day the sheriff had the county go out and put up a sign that said:
SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later Farmer Vernon 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
That did nothing but speed them up. Farmer Vernon called every day for three
weeks with no results. Finally, he asked the sheriff, "Your signs are doing no
good. Is it all right for me to put up my own sign?"
The sheriff told him, "Sure thing, put up your own sign." He was going to let
Farmer Vernon do just about anything in order to have him stop calling. The
sheriff got no more calls.
Three weeks after Farmer Vernon's last call, the sheriff decided to contact him.
"How's the problem with those drivers? Did you put up your sign?"
Farmer Vernon replied, "Oh, I sure did. 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 thought to himself, "I'd better go look at that sign... There might be
something there that WE could use to slow down drivers..."
So the sheriff drove out to Farmer Vernon's house. The first thing he saw was a
whole sheet of plywood propped up against a pole. Written in large, bright red
letters were the words:
SLOW: NUDIST COLONY
