Farmer Brown was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens) called "pullets," and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was quickly replaced.
This took an inordinate amount of time, so he bought some little 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 the farmer could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report just by listening to the bells.
The farmer's favorite rooster, an oldie by the name of Homer, was a very fine specimen, considering the bird's age, but this morning he noticed old Homer's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to check things out, he saw the other rooster were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.
To Farmer Brown's amazement, old Homer had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and strut off to the next one. Farmer Brown was so impressed with old Homer, he entered him in the County Fair and Homer became an overnight sensation.
The result was the judges not only awarded old Homer the No Bell Piece Prize, but the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly old Homer 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 ... watch out for no bells...............
