Butch The Rooster
John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young
layers called pullets and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to
fertilize the eggs. John kept the records and any rooster that didn't
perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot
of John's time so John got a set of tiny bells and attached them to the
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 efficiency reports by simply listening to the bells. John'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 John's amazement,Butch had his bell in his beak, so it
couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on the pullet. do his job and walk on the
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 "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly Butch was a
Politician. Who else could figure out how to win two of the most
politically biased awards on the planet by being the best at sneaking up
on the populace and screwing them
