Subject: Old Butch
John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several
hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters,
whose job it 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, 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 pull ets, h earing the
roosters coming, would run for cover.
But to Farmer 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 Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among
the judges.
The result...
The judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but
they 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 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.
Vote carefully this year...the bells are not always audible!
