John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called pullets and eight or ten roosters, whose job 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 Butch, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch'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, 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. John was so proud of Butch, he entered him in the county fair and Butch became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result...

The judges not only awarded Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize" but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.

Clearly 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 looking.

( No, Hilary! He wasn't talking about you! Your name is revered across the country as we New Yorkers are proud to say)

gerry, we would all like to know your definition of 'revered' as it applies to Hillary.

Dave:

I only meant that the name of Hilary is revered in the sense that she is someone to speak about in eloquent terms. (I think of explicit four letter terms that i would gladly give you -but Saeed, being narrowminded, does not welcome the old fashioned Anglo-Saxon language on his website) She is a symbol of what some of us have in mind when speaking of people like her who have devoted themselves to a life of public service. Just think, my fellow Americans - This selfless woman is going to offer to be our President - and what do I hear? Insults and rude suggestions. I just hope the rest of the country appreciates what Arkansas/NY is giving up for your benefit!

I trust this answers your question. BTW, in the event that we should get our first woman US president - what are the immigration requirements for Australia?
