Egg Business

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 Pullet surprise 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, the bells are not always audible.
