JOTD...for us old guys


Recommended Posts

A wealthy lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her

 

faithful aged poodle along for the company.

 

 

 

One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long discovers

 

that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly

in

his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old poodle

thinks,

"Oh, oh! I'm in deep trouble now!"

 

 

 

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down

to

chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the

 

leopard is about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that

was

one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

 

 

 

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look

of

terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says

the

leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"

 

 

 

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby

 

tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for

 

protection. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after

the

leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The

 

monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a

 

deal for himself with the leopard.

 

 

 

The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here,

 

monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving

 

canine!" Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey

on

his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of

running,

the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't

 

seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old

poodle

says: "Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me

 

another leopard!"

 

 

 

Moral of this story..

 

Don't mess with old farts. Age and cunning will always overcome youth

and

skill! Bullshit and brilliance come only with age and experience!
