O FUCKING LAY

The mayor of a border town in Texas called White Hot was very worried about a plague of pigeons in White Hot. The mayor could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of White Hot was full of pigeon poop. The people of the little city 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 a red pigeon. The red pigeon circled in the air and flew up into the bright blue Texas sky. All the pigeons in White Hot saw the red pigeon. They gathered up behind the red pigeon.

All of the pigeons in White Hot followed the red pigeon as it flew eastward out of the city. The next day the red pigeon returned completely alone to the man atop City Hall. The Mayor was very impressed. He thought the man and the red pigeon had performed a wonderful miraculous feat to rid White Hot of the plague of dirty birdies.

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 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 5 million just to get to ONE the answer to ONE question

The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his question.

The mayor asked: "Do you have any red Mexicans?"
