Chickens....

Just had to post this.... 
Trevor was in the fertilised egg business.He had several hundred young pullets
and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilise 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 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, bells-a-ringing.The pullets, hearing the roosters 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 Hertfordshire 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?
