Here's my contribution for attaining my second star. Not really my joke but one a friend sent me.

Trevor the farmer, was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets’ and eight or ten roosters whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.

The farmer kept records and any rooster that didn’t perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of time so he bought a tiny set of bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so Trevor 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.

The farmer’s favourite rooster was old Gordon and a very fine specimen he was too, but on one particular morning Trevor noticed old Gordon’s bell hadn’t rung at all! Trevor went to investigate.

The other roosters were chasing pullets bells-a-ringing. The pullets hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover but to farmer Trevor’s amazement Gordon had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring.
He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and move on to the next one.

Trevor was so proud of Gordon, he entered him into the local County Fair and Gordon became an overnight sensation among the judges.

THE RESULT:

The judges not only awarded Gordon the ‘No Bell Piece Prize’ but they also awarded him the ‘Pullet Surprise’ as well.

Clearly Gordon was a politician in the making, who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.

Apparently politics are the same all over the world!

Great joke, Elly. Congrats on the 2nd Star!
