The Egg Farmer
John was in the egg business. He had several hundred 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 monitoring took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to the 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 just by 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 bells, would run for cover.
To John’s amazement, Obama had thought of a way around the problem. He had his bell in his beak so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and move on to the next one.
John was so proud of Obama that he entered him in the State 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 also the highly-coveted Pullet Surprise.
Clearly Obama was a natural politician. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most prestigious awards on the 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 bell is not always audible
