The mayor of New York offered a million dollars to anyone who could
rid the city of pigeons. After two weeks, a man called city hall
and agreed to do it, and the mayor met him on the brooklyn bridge at
noon the following day.

The man arrived with nothing but a pink pigeon, and at precisely
noon, let the bird fly free. Within minutes all of the pigeons in
New York city were following the bird. Then the man whistled, and
the pink pigeon flew back, and dove into the water drowning itself.

To the mayor's amazement, the rest of the pigeons followed, and
drowned in the river. The mayor was so pleased that he not only
paid the man $1 million, but also gave him a two hundred thousand
dollar bonus. After paying the man, the mayor asked, "you don't
have any pink puerto ricans, do you?"
