John's chicken farm... Thanks Sarah Rapp!

John's Chicken Farm





John was in the egg business. He had several hundred young layers

(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 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, 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 roosters coming, would

run for cover.



To John's amazement, Obama had thought of a way to do it without work,

he 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 Obama, he entered him in the Chicago County 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 they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.



Clearly Obama was a politician. 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 in 2012, the bells are not always audible.
