The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons in
Phoenix. The mayor could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of
Phoenix was full of pigeon poop. The people of Phoenix 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 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. They gathered up 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 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 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 ask ONE question.

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

The mayor asked:

"Do you have a blue Mexican?"
