A turkey once got acquainted with a bull.

"I want to fly up to the top of that tall tree," he said to the bull, "but I haven't got the energy."

"Ummm, try nibbling some of my droppings?" replied the bull, "they're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found that it actually energized him. He fluttered up and perched on the lowest branches of the tree. 'Funny that,' he thought in amusement, 'Bullshit works.'

The next day, he ate some more dung. With some effort, he reached the middle branches. 'Hallelujah', he wondered, 'Bullshit actually works. It can take me places.'

The next day, he ate some more with great enthusiasm. And almost reached the highest branches of the tree. 'I've found the elixir of life,' he rejoiced, 'the secret mantra of power and success.'

Energetically the next day, he gobbled up as much bull shit as he could. And proudly reached the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a hunter, who shot him out of the tree.

Resume: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
