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 Brisbane City Show 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.
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 this coming election, the bells are not always audible.
Old Butch

Ok, once more for the dummy (moi), who is the other least of the two weavels we are best served by with a tick in their box - other than the one I already know?T1 Terry wrote: but you can spot a ding-a-ling from a mile off...

Experience is a wonderful thing. It helps you recognise a mistake when repeated.

Re: Old Butch
Do they have a box marked "None of the above"?

Re: Old Butch
Mine does, but it sez "Do not.....mark the ballot paper in any other way." than the allowable ticks.T1 Terry wrote:Do they have a box marked "None of the above"?

dawg (were's that he-haw sound coming from?)
EDIT: You may be on to something Terry. Form sez "Your vote will only count if you vote for no more than 2 candidates." It doesn't say you have to vote for two!
Which of the two nominees with three names that is NOT standing for re-election would be worthy? Hang, I've just had an idea - that unfortunately cannot be shared.
