The Rooster

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business. She had several hundred young
pullets and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. She kept records and
any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them
to her roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a
distance which rooster was performing. Now, she could sit on the porch
and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

Sarah's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen but, this
morning she noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When she went to
investigate, she saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but
the pullets hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Sarah's
amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.
He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one.
Sarah was so proud of old Butch, she entered him in the Dowerin Show
and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Peace
Prize" they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a
politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to
win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on
the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?



Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells.
