~Old Butch ~ (Plus:
today in history, word for the day, todays horoscope, Maxine and Herman)
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, the bells are not
always audible.
