Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic 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 af my chickens."
"What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff.
"I don't care," said Farmer John, "Just do something about these crazy drivers." So the next day he had the
county workers go out and errect a sign that said. SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING.
Three days later, FarmerJohn 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 sent out the county workers and they put up a sign that said, SLOW...children at play.
But that sped them up even more. So Farmer John kept calling and the sherrif kept changing the signs.
Finally Farmer John said to the sherrif, "Your signs are doing no good. Can I put up my own sign? The sherrif was about ready to let Farmer John do just about anything in order to get him to stop calling everyday. He said, "Sure,
put up your own sign." After that, The sheriff got no more calls from Farmer John.
Three weeks later, curiosity got the better of the sherrif 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, and not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got to go. I'm very busy." and 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 can use to slow traffic down. So the sherrif drove out to Farmer John's house,
and his jaw dropped the minute he saw the sign. It was spray painted on a sheet of plywood.
