Trevor The Farmer

[Smilge]

Trevor the farmer was in the fertilised egg business. He had

several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets' and eight

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 Trevor 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 favourite rooster was old Gordon, and a very fine

specimen he was too. But on this particular morning Trevor

noticed old Gordon's bell hadn't rung at all! Trevor went to

investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets,

would run for cover. But to farmer Trevor's amazement, 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 to the next one.

 

Trevor was so proud of Gordon, he entered him in the West Berks

County Fair 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 Pulletsurprise 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?
