Not A Duster
Well-known member
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 his efficiency reports 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 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 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!
