Brewster the Rooster
ATF
Member Posts: 11,683 ✭✭✭
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 democrat. 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?

Farmer Brown says to Brewster, "Brewster! You keep going at this rate, you're going to wear yourself out, and die of exhaustion. You're a good rooster, and I can't afford to lose you, so knock it off."
Two days later, Farmer Brown walks into the barn to find Brewster having his way with Farmer Brown's horse up against the barn door. "Brewster!," says Farmer Brown, "what did I just finish telling you the other day! I'm worried about you. I can't have you wearing yourself out and dying on me. You need to stop this nonsense right now. You're a good rooster, and I can't afford to lose you."
The next day, Farmer Brown walks out of the house and can see buzzards circling above his field. He walks out, and sure enough, lying motionless on the ground is Brewster. "Oh, Brewster," Farmer Brown sighs, "I told you this would happen. Shame, too, to lose such a good rooster."
Just then, Brewster's eye pops open. "Shhhh," whispers Brewster, pointing to the sky, "they're about to land..."

Decorum prevents me from printing any of them here. (Also Nunn would prolly prevent it too).
Win some, lose some.
Winning's better.
