Cheddarman, a gentleman from the far midwest, sent this oldie about a rooster...

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business. She had several hundred young pullets
and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was
replaced.

This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her
roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which
rooster was performing. Now, she could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency
report by just listening to the bells.

Sarah's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen but, this morning
she noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When she went to investigate,
she saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the
pullets hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To Sarah'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.

Sarah was so proud of old Butch, she entered him in a Show and he became
an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Peace Prize"
they also awarded him the "Pullet A=Surprise" 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 coveted
awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting
populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?

Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells.
