A Town was overrun by Chickens

A town was overrun by chickens. They were everywhere. People complained and life was miserable and messy.

The mayor decided to offer a reward to anyone who could rid the town of the chickens.

People came up with all kinds of schemes. One man tried to poison the chickens. A few died, but the next day, just as many took their place.

Another fellow tried to trap them. He caught hundreds and hauled them away, but the next day, twice as many chickens were running around.

The mayor was at his wit's end. He had almost given up when a mysterious man strolled into town.

"I'm looking for the mayor," he exclaimed. The mayor went up and greeted him.

"Are you here to try and rid our town of the chickens?" the mayor asked.

"I am!" declared the man.

"Well, good luck," said the mayor, "but I doubt whatever you do will work."

"Never fear," said the man, reaching into his pack. He slowly pulled out a bright pink chicken.

"I shall let my pink chicken run around your town for 24 hours. Then he will run out of town and all the chickens will follow him and never return."

The mayor laughed, as did the rest of the townsfolk. The man just calmly set his pink chicken down and went to his room in the inn.

For the next 24 hours, the pink chicken ran all over the town.

The next day, the man walked out and found his pink chicken. He and the pink chicken walked out of town, and sure enough, all the chickens followed them.

The next day, everyone in town waited to see if the chickens would return, but they didn't! In fact, the man returned two weeks later to collect his reward, and the chickens still hadn't returned.

Everyone was shocked. The mayor had his reward and was about to present it to the man, but hesitated with a quizzical look on his face.

"Don't tell me you're not going to pay up?" said the man.

"I'll pay up," replied the mayor. "But first...answer me one question."

"Sure," said the man.

The mayor leaned in, looked him square in the eye, and asked...

"Ya got any pink niggers?!?"
