Subject:	FW: Roosters

John was in the egg business.   He had several hundred young layers, called 
'pullets,'  and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.   Any rooster not 
performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.  Keeping records 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 one morning John noticed 
that 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.  The 
pullets, however, had learned to listen for the bells and 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 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 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 this year; the bells are not always audible.
