Frank the Rooster
OOC: This is a little story to make you smile as you wander through the hustle and bustle of the holiday. It made me giggle when my boss sent it to me, for obvious reasons...

The Rooster
This farmer has about 200 hens, but no rooster and he wants chicks.
So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster
which he would sell. The other farmer says, "Yeah, I've got this great rooster named 'Frank'. He'll service every chicken you got, no problem."
Well, Frank the rooster costs a lot of money, but the farmer decides he'd
be worth it, so he buys Frank. The farmer takes Frank home and sets him
down in the barnyard, first giving the rooster a pep talk. "Frank, I want
you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here and
you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I'll need you to do a good job. So,take you time and have some fun," the farmer said with a chuckle.
Frank seemed to understand, so the farmer points toward the hen house
and Frank took off like a shot - WHAM! - Frank nails every hen in the hen
house - three or four times and the farmer is really shocked. After that
the farmer hears a commotion in the duck pen. Sure enough, Frank is in
there.
Later the farmer sees Frank after a flock of geese down by the lake.
Once again - WHAM! - he gets all the geese. By sunset he sees Frank out in
the fields chasing quail and pheasants. The farmer is distraught - worried that his expensive rooster won't even last 24 hours.
Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed and wakes up the next day to find
Frank dead as a doorknob - stone cold in the middle of the yard. Buzzards
are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such an
expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh Frank, I told you to pace
yourself. I tried to get you to slow down, now look what you've done to yourself."
Frank opens one eye, nods toward the buzzards circling in the sky and
says, "Shhhh, they're getting closer......"
