Ebad, a somewhat shy but always irrepressible gentleman from the midwest, sent
this one about Farmer John's Chicken Story...

Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly
built up at an alarming rate. 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 went 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 seemed to speed them up. So Farmer John called and called and called every
day for three weeks. Finally, he told 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 call Farmer John.

"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 really
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 chicks!
