John's Fertilized Egg Business
Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2008 9:09 am
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 Barry, was a very fine specimen, but
this morning he noticed old Barry'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 Barry 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 Barry, he entered him in the Russell County
Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded old Barry the "No Bell
Piece Prize" but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.
Clearly old Barry 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 ringing. :o :o :shock:
