The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons
in Phoenix.
He could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Phoenix was
full of pigeon poop, the people of Phoenix could not walk on the
sidewalks, or drive on the roads..
It was costing a fortune to 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 its plague of pigeons without any
cost to the city. But, you must promise not to ask me any questions'.
Or, you can pay me one million dollars to ask one question.'
The mayor considered the offer briefly and accepted the free
proposition.
The next day the man climbed to the top of City Hall, opened his
coat, and released a blue pigeon. The blue pigeon circled in the
air and flew up into the bright blue Arizona sky.
All the pigeons in Phoenix saw the blue pigeon and gathered up
in the air behind the blue pigeon. The Phoenix pigeons followed
the blue pigeon as she flew southward out of the city.
The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone to the man
atop City Hall.
The Mayor was very impressed. He felt the man and the blue pigeon
had performed a wonderful miraculous service 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 1 million dollars
and told the man that, indeed, he did have a question to ask and
even though they had agreed to no fee and the man had rid the city
of pigeons, he decided to pay the 1 million just to get to ask ONE
question.
The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his ONE
question.
Do you think the Mayor is going to ask how the blue pigeon led all
the pigeons away?
Do you think the Mayor is going to ask where all the pigeons went?
Do you think he is going to ask where the man got the blue pigeon?
Nooooooo!
The mayor asked:
'Do you have a blue Mexican'?
