    The Bells

    Old but good

    The Bells



    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.

    A lot of truth in that.
