Ratman2 2 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 GORDON THE ROOSTER Trevor was in the fertilised egg business. He had several hundred young pullets and eight or ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilise 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 and attached them to the roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so Trevor could tell from a distance which one was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. The farmer's favourite rooster was old Gordon, and a very fine specimen he was too. However, on one particular morning Trevor had noticed old Gordon's bell hadn't rung at all!! Trevor went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To farmer Trevor's amazement, old Gordon had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on quietly to the next one. Trevor was so proud of Gordon he entered him in the county show and Gordon became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result? The judges not only awarded Gordon the "No Bell Piece" Prize , but they also awarded him the "Pullet Surprise" as well !! Clearly Gordon 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 ? Do you know a Pullitician called Gordon ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
