Slowing trafficA farmer lived on a quiet, rural highway. But, as time
went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. It became so
heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of
three to six a day. So he 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 these crazy drivers."So
the next day the sheriff had the county go out and put up a sign that
said: SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING. Three days later, the farmer again called
the sheriff and said, "That sign didn>t help a bit. They are still
hitting my chickens."So the next day, the county put up a sign that
said: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY.Again, no change. So the farmer called and
called, every day for three weeks.Finally, he told the sheriff, "Look,
your signs are just not working. Mind if I put up one of my own?"The
sheriff told him, "Sure thing, let>s see if yours works better." ...He
was willing to agree to anything to get him to stop those daily
calls.Well, the sheriff got no more calls from the farmer. After three
weeks, he decided to call the farmer and see how things were going.
"Did you put up your sign?""Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has
been killed since. I>ve got to go. I>m very busy." And he hung up the
phone.The sheriff thought to himself, "I>d better go have a look at
that sign. There might be something there that we could use to slow
down drivers..."So the sheriff drove out to the farmer>s house, and he
saw the sign. It was on a whole sheet of plywood. Written in large,
yellow letters were the words: SLOW: NUDIST COLONY. 'sodium chlorite'
