THE PROBLEM WITH WEB PAGES!!!

For years now I have spent time telling anyone who bothers to read this site, that as a horse trainer, I make a very poor journalist. I make an even worse I.T. person as far as keeping my site updated. The problem is that as soon as I introduce another person to the site or they hear about it and check it out, I get into trouble for not refreshing it regularly. Fair dinkum a poor battling horse trainer can't win! So to my most recent critic (and he knows who he is) I will try even harder to keep things fresh. Just to prove that I am listening I have uploaded the very funny yarn he sent me about ROOSTERS! Check it out.




BUTCH THE ROOSTER
John the farmer was in the fertilized egg business. He had several
Hundred young layers (hens), called "pullets", and ten roosters, whose
Job it was to fertilize the eggs (for you city folks).

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 his time, so he
bought a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each
bell had a different tone so John 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 favorite rooster was old Butch, and a very fine specimen
he was, too.

But on this particular morning John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! John 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 John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He would sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk
on to the next one.

John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result...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 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.
