An Oregon man who got tired of speeders racing past his house planted a faux sheriff’s cruiser in his yard to encourage motorists to ease off the gas pedal. Rick Pyburn’s plywood cop car façade seems to be doing the trick. “Once I placed that on the highway, it was amazing,” he said. “The traffic immediately slowed down.” Pyburn said lead-footed (and cold-hearted) drivers had become dangerous, running over five of his chickens. “People hit ’em and just keep on going,” he said. The county sheriff’s office said it doesn’t mind the crime-fighting help, and the entrepreneurial Pyburn says he plans to market an upgraded model made of a waterproof composite.
But, of course, this begs the main question: Why were Pyburn’s chickens crossing the road?
The chickens were crossing the road to prove to the ‘possum that it could be done.
Obviously, they failed in that endeavor.
My best laugh of the day!
