[SIZE=14pt]Trevor the farmer was in the fertilised egg business. He had several hundred[/SIZE]
young layers (hens), called 'pullets' and eight or ten roosters, whose job was
to fertilise the eggs. The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn't perform
went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of his time so he
bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a
different tone so Trevor could tell, from a distance, which rooster was performing.
Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.
Trevor's favourite rooster was old Gordon, and a very fine
specimen he was too. But on this particular morning Trevor noticed old
Gordon's bell hadn't rung at all! Trevor went to investigate. The other
roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the
roosters coming, would run for cover. But to farmer Trevor's amazement,
Gordon 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.
Trevor was so proud of Gordon that entered him in the West Berks
County Fair and Gordon became an overnight sensation among the judges. :thumbsup:
The result??....................
The judges not only awarded Gordon the No Bell Piece Prize but they also
awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly Gordon
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? (w00t)
Do you know a Pullitician called Gordon? :- " [/size]
