“You’ve got to do something about these people driving too fast and killing all
my chickens.” So the next day the sheriff went out and put up a sign that read:
SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING

a new expressway bypass meant an alarming increase in traffic. In fact, it so heavy and so fast that his
chickens were being run over at a rate of three a day.
- Finally, the telephone calls stop, and the
sheriff becomes very curious. So he drives out to the farmer’s house, and there
on the edge of the road he sees a new sign. It’s a whole sheet of plywood. And
written in large yellow letters are the words: SLOW: NUDIST COLONY
- No good. So, the farmer calls again...and
