John, the farmer, was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), also called 'pullets,' and 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. All 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, a very fine specimen. But on this particular morning, John noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all. So John went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets all over the place with bells-a-ringing. The pullets, upon 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'd 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 Renfrew 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 awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.

There was a businessman named Ben who wanted to monopolize the internet services market. He bought up all the large internet software and services companies and merged them. He liked Yahoo's search and e-mail, so he integrated them into the Netscape browser.

The result? Benjamin's Net & Yahoo.




this was rather poorly told, I'll admit; my dad told it to me about ten years ago.
