[AccessD] OT: Farmer John

Farmer John


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 ***
