Old Butch

Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young
'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.

Fred's favorite rooster, old Butch, 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 Fred'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.
Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in
the Brisbane City Show and he became an overnight 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 in the next election, you can’t always hear the bells.

Thanks Dan !
