Butch the Rooster
email from a friend | 1/28/2022 | unknown

Posted on 01/28/2022 11:31:14 AM PST by sodpoodle

Sarah was in the fertilized egg business. She had several hundred young pullets (a young hen) and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.

This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters.

Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing.

Now, she could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

Sarah's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen but, this morning she noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!

When she went to investigate, she saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To Sarah'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.

Sarah was so proud of old Butch, she entered him in a Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

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

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making.

Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention?

Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells.

That story is a complete fabrication! Libelous and maybe even racist!

My friend sends some great cartoons, but I have no idea how to post them. I only use the ones I can copy & paste.

Glad you enjoy them

God bless.

I once had a cochin rooster that was so cool, he didn't have to chase. He would sit there nobly or just strut around the barnyard looking cool and the hens would come to him.

I kid you not.

My aunt used to sell fertilized duck eggs to Asian restaurants for balut.

You ain’t seen nothing until you’ve seen a drake gettin’ frisky. Roosters are pikers.

Talk about cartoons, my parents had this one on 8mm and we all begged for it when the movie projector was brought out.
