A farmer dumps a big pile of chicken shit in a field within scent of a preacher's house. The preacher's wife responds by scribbling on a white board posted in her yard: "Lester, please remove your chicken poop! It smells and draws flies." Lester Miller, the owner of the field, has this defiant billboard erected across the street in place of the dung.
