Santa lived on a quiet rural highway But as time went by the traffic slowly 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 he called the Inspector`s 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 Inspector I don`t care just do something about those drivers So the next day he had the local workers go out and erect a sign that said: SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING Three days later Santa called the Inspector and said You`ve got to do something about these drivers The `school crossing` sign seems to make them go faster So again he sends out the workers and they put up a new sign: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY And that really sped them up So Santa called and called and called everyday for three weeks Finally he asked Your signs are doing no good Is it all right for me to put up my own sign? Inspector told him Sure thing put up your own sign He was going to let Santa do just about anything in order to have him stop calling Well after that he got no more calls from Santa Three weeks after Santa`s last call the Inspector decided to call him 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 Inspector thought to himself I`d better go to that farmer`s house and look at that sign There might be something there that WE could use to slow down drivers So hedrove out to Santa`s house and he saw the sign It was a whole sheet of plywood And written in large yellow letters were the words: SLOW: NUDIST COLONY
