Kevin The Rooster

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

> hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets' and eight or ten roosters,

> to

> fertilise the pullets’ eggs.

>

> Trevor 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 Kevin, and a very fine specimen he was

> too, but on this particular morning Trevor noticed Kevin's bell hadn't

> rung

> at all!

>

> Trevor 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 Trevor's

> amazement, Kevin 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 Kevin, he entered him into the Brisbane Exhibition

> and Kevin became an overnight sensation among the judges.

>

> The Result?

>

> The judges not only awarded Kevin the No Bell Piece Prize but they also

> awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

>

> Clearly Kevin 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 Kevin?.............
