Subject: Gordon the Chicken




Trevor the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several
hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets' and eight or ten
roosters, to fertilize 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 Gordon, and a very fine
specimen he
was too, but on this particular morning Trevor noticed 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 into the London
Exhibition 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 Politician called Gordon?

Reality..What a concept!
