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 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 Pullitician called Gordon?
