John, the farmer, 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 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 his roosters. Each bell
had a different tone so John 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 farmer's favorite rooster was old Al, a very fine specimen he was
too, but on this particular morning John noticed old Al's bell hadn't
rung at all! John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing
pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would
run for cover.
But to Farmer John's amazement, old Al 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 old Al, he entered him in the Renfrew
County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result...The judges not only awarded old Al the No Bell Piece Prize
but they awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly old Al 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.
