Farmer Fred once lived on a quiet rural highway but as time went by, the traffic slowly 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 Farmer Fred called the local police station to complain, "You've got to do something about allthese people driving so fast and killing all my chickens," he said to the local police officer.

"What do you want me to do?" asked the policeman.

"I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!"

So the next day the policeman had the Council erect a sign that said:

SCHOOL CROSSING

Three days later Farmer Fred called the policeman and said, "You've still got to do somethingabout these drivers. The ‘school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster!"

So again, they put up a new sign:

SLOW - CHILDREN AT PLAY.

That really sped them up. So Farmer Fred called and said, "Your signs are no good.

Can I put up my own sign?"

In order to get Farmer Fred off his back said

"Sure. Put up your own sign.

The phone calls to the Police Station stopped, but curiosity got the better of the Officer,so he called Farmer Fred and asked

“How’s the problem with the speeding drivers?
Did you put up your sign?"

"Oh, I sure did and not one chicken has been killed".

The policeman was really curious and thought he'd better go out and take a look at the sign. He also thought the sign might be something the Police could use elsewhere, to slow drivers
down..

So he drove out to Farmer Fred's house. His jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign.
