Coolidge effect

Coolidge effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term comes from an old joke, according to which President Calvin Coolidge
and his wife allegedly visited a poultry farm. During the tour, Mrs.
Coolidge inquired of the farmer how his farm managed to produce so many
fertile eggs with such a small number of roosters. The farmer proudly
explained that his roosters performed their duty dozens of times each
day.

"Perhaps you could point that out to Mr. Coolidge," pointedly replied the First Lady.

The President, overhearing the remark, asked the farmer, "Does each rooster service the same hen each time?"

"No," replied the farmer, "there are many hens for each rooster."

"Perhaps you could point that out to Mrs. Coolidge," replied the President.
