> Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway.  But, as time went by,
> the traffic slowly built up to an alarming level.  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  John 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  John
> 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 John 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 John do  just about anything in order to get him
> to stop calling every day to  complain. The sheriff got no more
> calls from Farmer  John.
>
> Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the sheriff  and he
> decided to give Farmer John 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  John'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 the chicks ***
