Farmer John lived on a quiet rural
highway. But as time went by, the traffic
slowly built up and became 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 local police station and
said, "You've got
to do something about all of these people driving so fast
and killing my
chickens."
"What do you want us to do?" asked the
policeman. "I don't care, just do
something about those crazy drivers!" So
the next day the policeman had the
Main Road’s workers Go out to erect a
sign that said:
SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later Farmer John
called the policeman 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 policeman sends out the Main Roads
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 policeman, "Your signs are doing
no good at all ... Can I put up
my own sign?" The policeman said, "Sure, go
ahead." He was willing to let
Farmer John do just about anything In order to
get him to stop calling to
complain.
The policeman got no more calls from Farmer John. Three weeks
later,
curiosity got the best of the policeman 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,” replied Farmer John, ”and not one chicken has been
killed
since then. I've got to go. I'm very busy." He hung up the
phone.
The policeman was really curious 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 he 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....
