The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons in
his city. The mayor could not get rid of the pigeons from the city,
the entire city of Phoenix was full of pigeon poop. The people
couldn't walk on the sidewalks or drive on the roads. It was costing
a fortune to try 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 cost
to the City. But, you must promise not to ask me any questions. Or,
you can pay me five million dollars and 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 one 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 behind it. The pigeons
followed the blue pigeon as she flew southward out of the city.
The next day the blue pigeon returned to the man completely alone.
The Mayor was very impressed. He thought the man and the blue pigeon
had performed a wonderful, 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 5 million dollars and told the man
that, indeed, he did have just one question to ask.
The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his question.
The mayor asked: "Do you have a blue Mexican?
