[size=16]A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa , taking her
faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles 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 doo-doo 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 from
the leopard. 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 treachery will always overcome youth and
skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
I am in no way insinuating that any of you are old, some are just more
youthfully challenged. You did notice the size of the print?
