A relevant story from the farm

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. Jack Welch, CEO when GE was still emblematic of great management, used to winnow out the lowest 5% of his producers every year. John had read Welch's books and was a careful manager, 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.
John's favorite rooster, Hussein, was a very fine specimen, but one morning he noticed Hussein'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, could run for cover.
To John's amazement, Hussein 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.
John was so proud of Hussein, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only elected Hussein #1 Renfrew Rooster but awarded him the No Bell Piece Prize and also the extra Pulletsurprise, as well.
Clearly Hussein was a politician in the making.
Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two highly coveted awards by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
When you go to the polls, "Vote carefully, the bells are not always audible."
