The mayor of Phoenix was very worried about a plague of pigeons in Phoenix that were causing an immense problem. Many who claimed to be experts in such matters came forth to offer suggestions, all were tried but to no avail, the problem persisted.
All of Phoenix was full of pigeon poop, the people of Phoenix couldn't walk hardly anywhere without stepping in it
People were staying away from city parks because of the pigeons
The downtown streets were filled with pigeons and pigeon poop.
The problem was getting worse by the day and the mayor was being beseiged by thousands of phone calls, emails, and irate citizens showing up at his office demanding something be done to rid the city of the pigeons.
It was costing a fortune to try to keep the streets and sidewalks clean of pigeon poop, but it was a losing battle, for as soon as the street crews would clean up the streets the pigeons would be back again within a couple of hours.
There were so many pigeons it looked as though all the pigeons in the world had converged on the city of Phoenix.

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 dollars and ask one question." The mayor considered the offer briefly and accepted the free proposition.
The man went to his car and brought back a cage that contained a beautiful blue pigeon. He opened the cage, reached in for the pigeon and tossed it into the air.
The mayor stood and watched as the pigeon circled in the air and flew up into the bright blue Arizona sky.
All the pigeons in Phoenix saw the blue pigeon and gathered up behind it. They followed it as it flew southward out of the city.
The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone and landed a few feet away from the two men. 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 though the man had charged nothing the mayor wrote him out a check for one million dollars and told him that he had changed his mind, that he did indeed have a question to ask. He thought it would be well worth the $1,000,000 to ask the man a very important question. The man accepted the check and told the mayor to ask his question. The mayor turned to the man and asked; "Do you have a blue Illegal Mexican?"
