Innovative Farmer Farmer Jack once lived on a quiet rural highway, but as time went by, the traffic 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 he called the local police station, complaining, “You’ve got to do something about all these people driving so fast and killing my chickens,” he said to the desk sergeant. “What do you want me to do?” asked the policeman. “I don’t care; just do something about those crazy drivers!” the farmer declared. So the next day the policeman had the traffic department erect a sign that said: SCHOOL CROSSING. Three days later farmer Jack called the policeman and said, “You’ve still got to do more about these drivers. The ‘school crossing’ sign seems to make them go even faster!” So up went a new sign that said: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY. But it did little good, leading the farmer to ask if he could put of a sign of his own, which he did. When a week went by with no call from the farmer, the desk sergeant became curious and called the farmer. “How is the problem with the speeding drivers?” he asked. “Did you put up your sign?” “I sure did and not one chicken has been killed,” the farmer replied. The policeman became so curious that he went out to see the sign for himself. His jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign, which boldly proclaimed: NUDIST COLONY. SLOW DOWN AND WATCH FOR CHICKS!
