Not sure if this has been posted here before, I missed it, if it was. Anyway, apologies if it's a repeat. Regardless, enjoy.

The Blue Pigeon

The Mayor of London was very worried about a plague of pigeons in the City Center. He could not remove the pigeons from the
city. All of London was full of pigeon poop, the people of London could not walk on the pavements or drive on the roads. It as costing a fortune to keep the streets and pavements clean.

One day, a man came to the Town Hall and offered the Mayor a proposition: "I can rid your beautiful city of its plague of
pigeons without any 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 the Nelson's Column, opened his coat, and released a blue pigeon. The blue pigeon circled in the air and flew up into the bright blue London sky. All the pigeons in London saw the blue pigeon and gathered up in the air behind the bird. The London pigeons followed the blue pigeon as she flew eastwards out of the city.

The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone to the man on top of Nelson's Column. The Mayor was very impressed. He felt the man and the blue pigeon had performed a wonderful, miraculous service to rid London of the plague of pigeons. Even though the man with the blue pigeon had charged nothing, the mayor presented him with a cheque 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 ONE question.

The Mayor asked, simply:

"Do you have any blue Muslim's?"


I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.
