BREWSTER THE ROOSTER

**

Whitey was in the fertilized egg business. He had

several hundred young layers called pullets and

eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize

the eggs. Whitey kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced.

*

That took an awful lot of Whitey's time so Whitey

got a set of tiny bells and attached them to his

roosters.

*

Each bell had a different tone so Whitey 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.

*

Whitey's favorite rooster was old Brewster, a

very fine specimen he was, too. But on this

particular morning Whitey noticed old Brewster's

bell hadn't rung at all!

*

Whitey went to investigate. The other roosters

were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The

pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

*

BUT, to Whitey's amazement, Brewster 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.

*

Whitey was so proud of Brewster, he entered him

in the county fair... and Brewster became an

overnight sensation among the judges.

*

The result...

*

The judges not only awarded Brewster the "No

Bell Piece Prize" but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.

*

Clearly Brewster was a politician. Who else

could figure out how to win two of the most politically

biased awards on our planet by being the best at

sneaking up on the populous and screwing them.

, Good one Will!
