Cock Of The Walk

[martymas]

John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business.

He had several hundred young layers (hens, called pullets) and 8 or 10

roosters, whose job was to fertilize 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 attached

them to his roosters.

Each bell had a different tone so John could tell from a distance which

rooster was performing.

Now John could sit on his porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by

listening to the bells.

The farmer's favorite rooster was old Butch, a very fine specimen he was

too.

But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at

all!

John went to investigate.

The other roosters we re chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing.

The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

But to farmer John's amazement, Butch had his bell in his beak, so it

couldn't ring.

He'd sneak up on a pullet, nail her and walk on to the next one.

John was so proud of Butch, he entered him in the county fair and Butch

became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result.....The judges not only awarded Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize" -

but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.

Clearly 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?

[politicians]... sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention ...

Hey! That's our taxes you're joking about!
