THE CHICKEN BUSINESS
Bob, the rancher, was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called "pullets", and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.
The rancher 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 Bob 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.
The rancher's favorite rooster was old Rojo, a very fine specimen he was too. But on this particular morning Bob noticed old Rojo's bell hadn't rung at all! Bob went to investigate.
The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. But to rancher Bob's amazement, old Rojo 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. Bob was so proud of old Rojo, he entered him in the McLennan County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result...The judges not only awarded old Rojo the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly old Rojo 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...the bells are not always audible
