Trevor the farmer ...
... was in the fertilised egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets' and eight or ten cockerels (roosters), whose job was to fertilise the eggs. The farmer kept records and any cockerel that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took a great deal of his time so he bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his cockerels. Each bell had a different tone so Trevor could tell from a distance, which cockerel 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 cockerel 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 cockerels were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the cockerels coming, 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?
