William Holden, a super sharp gentleman from the desert southwest,
sent this one about a farmer and his chickens...
Farmer 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:
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:
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 the policeman 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.
