Blue Pigeon
The Mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons in the city.
Try as he might, he could not remove the pigeons from the city. It seemed that the entire city of Phoenix was covered in pigeon droppings.
The people of Phoenix couldn’t walk on the sidewalks or drive on the roads without seeing or stepping in pigeon droppings. It was costing the city a fortune to try and keep the streets and sidewalks clean.
One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor a proposition.
"I can rid your beautiful city of it plague of pigeons without any cost to the city, I have only one condition…you may not ask me any questions…if you ask me even a single question it will cost you $1,000,000.00"
The Mayor considered the offer briefly, and accepted the man's terms.
The next day the man arrived at City Hall and climbed to the top of the building. He opened his coat, and released a blue pigeon. The pigeon circled in the air and flew up into the bright blue Arizona sky.
Every pigeon in the city of Phoenix saw the blue pigeon circling City Hall. They gathered up behind the blue pigeon. All the pigeons of Phoenix followed the blue pigeon as it flew off southward out of the city.
The next morning the blue pigeon returned completely alone to the man atop City Hall. The Mayor was very impressed. He thought the man and his blue pigeon had performed a wonderful and miraculous feat to rid Phoenix of the plague of pigeons.
Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing, the Mayor presented him with a check for a million dollars, and told the man that indeed he did have a question that he simply had to ask
The man accepted the money, and told the Mayor to ask his question.
The Mayor asked: "Do you have a blue Mexican?"
You know that's funny!
