Larry's Chicken Farm-

Someone sent me this tonight. I find it hysterical:

"Because of the writers' strike going on so long, Larry got into the fertilized egg business.

He acquired several hundred young layers (hens), called “pullets,” and ten roosters, whose job it was to fertilize the eggs. Larry 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 Larry could tell from a distance which Rooster was "performing". Now he could just sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells....

-Larry’s favorite rooster was "Old Butch", a fine young specimen. But on this particular morning Larry noticed Old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all. Larry went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. In his check, he discovered that the pullets, hearing the roosters coming due to their bells...would run for cover. But to Larry’s mazement, 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.

Larry was so proud of Old Butch he entered him in the County Fair, where he became an overnight sensation among the judges. As a result, the judges not only awarded Old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize" but they also gave him the "Pulletsurprise" 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 populance and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.

Vote carefully . . The bells are not always audible!"



N!
