Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred
young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the
soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought
some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had
a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster
was performing.
Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report
by just listening to the bells.
Fred's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen,
but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!
When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were
busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing
the roosters coming, would run for cover.
To Fred's amazement, old Butch 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.
Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Ottawa
exhibition and he became an overnight sensation among the
judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch
the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the
"Pulletsurprise" as well.

The old ones are the best ones Buster good to see you.

I hope you're getting on ok I've been thinking of you.
