"Funny Story.....but
there may be some truth in it!!"
Old Butch
John was in the fertilized egg business.
He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets,'
and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the
soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny 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
by just listening to the bells.
John's favorite rooster, old Bu tch, was a very fine specimen,
but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!
When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy
chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the
roosters coming, would run for cover.
To 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 Saint
Lawrence County Fair and he became an ov ernight sensation among
the judges.
The result was 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 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 this fall, the bells are not always audible.
Hmmmmmmmm.......anybody in particular come to
mind???? lol.....
YFIC,
