I'm totally gonna post this in a chicken group on Facebook if you don't mind. Won't post til you answer it's ok. I'll give you credit for it[COLOR=2F5496]Fred was[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. [/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]He kept[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=2F5496]This[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=2F5496]Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all![/COLOR]
[COLOR=2F5496]When he[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]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.[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so t couldn't ring. He'd[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=2F5496]Fred was[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]so proud of old Butch that he entered him in the Brisbane Poultry Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]him the "Pullet Surprise" as well.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=2F5496]Clearly,[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]when they weren't paying[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]attention.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=2F5496]Moral: Vote[/COLOR] [COLOR=2F5496]carefully in the next election - you can't always hear the bells.[/COLOR]
