Homer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several
hundred young layers (hens) called "pullets," and 10 roosters
to fertilize the eggs. 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.
Homer's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but one
morning he noticed old Butch'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, could run
for cover.
To Homer'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.
Homer was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the County Fair and he
became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No-Bell Piece
Prize, but they also awarded him the Pullet 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
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 this year...the bells are not always audible.
