Kenny the
Rooster
Kenny the rooster will cost a lot of money, but a farmer decides he'd be
worth it. So, he buys Kenny. The farmer takes Kenny home and sets him down in
the barnyard to give him a pep talk.
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 your time and have some fun," the
farmer said, with a chuckle.
Kenny seemed to understand, so the farmer pointed toward the hen-house
and Kenny took off like a shot. WHAM!- Kenny 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, Kenny is in there. Later, the
farmer sees Kenny after a flock of geese near the lake. Once again, WHAM! he
gets all the geese.
By sunset, he sees Kenny out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants.
The farmer is distraught and 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
Kenny on his back, stone cold in the middle of the yard... vultures are
circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of such a colorful and
expensive animal, shakes his head and says, "Oh, Kenny, I told you to pace
yourself. I tried to get you to slow down. Now look what you've done to
yourself." Kenny opens one eye, nods toward the vultures circling in the sky
and says, "Shhh, they're getting closer."
