Old Butch

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young
layers (hens), called '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.

John'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, could
run for
cover.

To 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 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
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 next year, the bells are not always audible.


BTW, Hairy and wf3h are in my kill file, so I won't see their juvenile
and rabid replies. WAFA free again!


I'm sure I can speak for wf3h on this...our hearts are *not* broken,
lu-ser.
