John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred
young layers (hens), called " pullets" and 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 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, and 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, 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 Butch, he entered him in the Boone 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 Pulletsurprise 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 paying attention?
