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 th e 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 th ough 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?"
