Trevor the farmer...

Trevor the farmer was in the fertilised egg business.
He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets' and eight
or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilise 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 his time so he bought a set of tiny 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 Jacob, and a very fine specimen
he was too. But on this particular morning Trevor noticed old Jacob'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, Jacob 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.
Trevor was so proud of Jacob, he entered him in the Polokwane Country
Fair and Jacob became an overnight sensation among the judges. The
result was the judges not only awarded Jacob the "No Bell Piece Prize"
but they also awarded him the "Pullet Surprise" as well.
Clearly Jacob was a Pulletician in the making: Who else but a
Pulletician 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.
Do you perhaps know of a Pulletician called Jacob?
