My name is Andouee “CL” Sheehee. As your president, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our annual Chicken Lovers of America Banquet and Awards Ceremony. I am honored to announce the winner of this year’s prestigious award and to introduce our president elect, Mr. “CL” Box. Mr. Box and I go back many years. We have dug a whole lot of holes together. Mr. Box is a close friend and a dog of few words who is known to all for the following attributes:
-
He is an exercise heartthrob who can get any old lady out of a walker in a week.
-
He can ride a horse with the same panache as Gene Autry and even hum a little.
-
He can hit a moving target firing his concealed weapon from inside his trouser pocket without injury to any of his body parts.
-
He is an organizational guru that can bring order out of chaos for any organization even an NPO, if they would only listen.
-
He can make cowboy biscuits before dawn with buffalo fat, bacon grease, Crisco, or canola oil.
-
He has a 97% success rate of hatching twin chickens from double yolk eggs.
-
He loves chickens.
We have an honored tradition here at the Chicken Lovers of America Banquet, Mr. Box will get a free tattoo on any body part his wishes and his name will be changed to Chicken Lover Box, shortened to CL Box. Let’s all welcome Mr. CL Box the award winner tonight and the next president of the Chicken Lovers of America.
CL Box:
Thank you Mr. “CL” Sheehee. It’s getting close to 9:00 p.m. so I’ll keep my remarks short. I am humbled by this honor. I owe it all to that which I have been taught over the years by my mother, wife, children and friends. I can say with absolute certainty that without them I would not stand where I do tonight.
Why do I love chickens?
-
Chickens walk with grace, especially the young hens.
-
Roosters greet each new day of hard work at sunrise with the sound of joy.
-
Chickens understand the principle of value given for value received, an egg a day will keep the pot away.
-
Chickens work together, if one sees a bug, they all chase it.
-
Chickens love me, my children, my wife and my mother.
Let’s close now, it’s getting close to 9:00 p.m. I promise you that I will respond to the challenges facing our organization, Chicken Lovers of America, especially their image, which has been grossly distorted by the narrow-minded group think media. I will respond to my new name and I will wear my tattoo with pride.
Geaux chickens, geaux chickens!
