Farmer Joh
John once lived on a quiet rural highway but as time went by, the
traffic slowly built up and eventually got so heavy and so fast that
his free range chickens were being run over, at a rate of three to six
a week.
So Farmer John called the local police station to complain, "You've got
to do something about all these people driving so fast and killing all
my chickens," he said to the local police officer.
"What do you want me to do?" asked the policeman.
"I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!"
So the next day the policeman had the Council erect a sign that said:
SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later Farmer John called the policeman and said, "You've
still got to do something about these drivers. The ‘school crossing'
sign seems to make them go even faster!"
So again, they put up a new sign: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY .
That really sped them up. So Farmer John called and said, "Your signs
are no good. Can I put up my own sign?"
In order to get Farmer John off his back said "Sure. Put up your own
sign.
The phone calls to the Police Station stopped, but curiosity got the
better of the Officer, so he called Farmer John, “How’s the problem
with the speeding drivers. did you put up your sign?"
"Oh, I sure did and not one chicken has been killed.
The policeman was really curious and thought he'd better go out and
take a look at the sign. He also thought the sign might be something
the Police could use elsewhere, to slow drivers down..
So he drove out to Farmer John's house.
His jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign.
“ NUDIST COLONY”
“Slow down and watch out for chicks”
