Outraged Editorial

In order to draw a line in the sand, set an example for others and bring submissions such at the one appearing below to a complete halt, the Board has unanimously voted to place Hugh Jorgen on indefinite suspension and hereby orders his visitation rights revoked to Stall C (wide stancers only) adjacent to the Log Cabin Buffet in the Mens' Shitter just down the hall from the Rheum Room.



Hillary the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. She had several hundred young layers, known to avian cognoscenti as 'pullets.'

And ten roosters whose job it was to fertilize the eggs.

Hillary kept records.

Any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced.

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

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

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

Hillary's favorite rooster was Old Bill and a fine specimen he was.

But on this particular morning Hillary noticed Old Bill's bell hadn't rung at all!

Hillary went to investigate.

The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing.

The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, ran for cover.

But to Hillary's amazement, old Bill 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.

Hillary was so proud of Old Bill, she entered him in the Arkansas State Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result--the judges not only awarded Old Bill the No Bell Piece Prize, they also awarded him the Pullet Surprise as well.
