​ Roosters and Politicians

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business.
  He had several hundred young hens, called pullets.
  + Eight or ten roosters whose job 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 bells, and attached them to his roosters.
  Each bell had a different tone so he 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.

  But on this particular morning John noticed that Butch’s bell hadn’t rung!  John went to investigate.
  The other roosters were chasing hens, bells-a-ringing. 

  The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.  But to John’s amazement, Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring.
  He’d sneak up on a hen,  do his job and walk to the next one.

  John was so proud of Butch,
  He entered him in the County fair and Butch
  Became an overnight sensation among the judges.

  The result.

  The judges not only awarded Butch the
  ‘No Bell Piece Prize’.
  But they also awarded him the ‘Pullet Surprise’ as well.

  Clearly 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 looking.
