Guest bullterrier Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 The mayor of Liverpool was very worried about a plague of pigeons in the city. He could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Liverpool was full of pigeon poop, the people of Liverpool could not walk on the pavements, or drive on the roads. It was costing a fortune to keep the streets and pavements 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 one million pounds 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 English sky. All the pigeons in Liverpool saw the blue pigeon and gathered up behind the blue pigeon. The Liverpool 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 Liverpool 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 pounds 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 question. Do you think he is going to ask where the pigeons went? Do you think he is going to asked where he got the blue pigeon? Noooooooo ! This will get a smile out of you! The mayor asked: "Do you have a blue Polish bloke by any chance?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
