John's Chicken Farm
John was in the egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens),
called 'pullets', and ten roosters to fertilize them. 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, Obama, was a very fine specimen, but this morning
he noticed Obama'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 John's amazement, Obama had thought of a way to do it without work, he
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 Obama, he entered him in the Chicago County Fair and he
became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded Obama the No Bell Piece Prize but
they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly Obama was a politician. 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 fall, the bells are not always audible. |
