Go slow
Farmer John lived on a busy road; 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 police and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens." So the next day road workers went out and erected a sign that said:
SLOW:
SCHOOL CROSSING
Three days later Farmer John called again 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 road workers went and put up a new sign:
SLOW:
CHILDREN AT PLAY
That really sped them up. So Farmer John called every day for three weeks. Finally, he told them, "Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign?" "Sure thing, put up your own sign." They were going to let him do anything in order to get him to stop calling everyday to complain. Then they had no more calls.
Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of them and they called 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 have to go. I'm very busy." He hung up the phone. They were curious now and thought, "We’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 they drove out to Farmer John's house, and found this sign. It was spray-painted on a sheet of wood:
NUDIST COLONY
Go slow and watch out for the chicks.
