The Chicken Farmer

[Guest flyfishtn]

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred

young layers (hens), called "pullets", and ten roosters, whose job it was to

fertilize the eggs.

The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the

soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time, so he bought

a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance which

rooster was performing Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an

efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer's favorite

rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this

particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John

went to investigate.

The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets,

hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

But to Farmer John'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.

John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair

and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result...The

judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also

awarded him the Pullet Surprise 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 highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up

on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.

Vote carefully...the bells are not always audible.
