You may have already heard this, I hadn't.......
The Old Poodle
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 started chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that
she's lost.
Wandering about, she notices a leopard heading rapidly in her 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, she immediately settles down
to chew on the bones with her 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 her back to her attackers, pretending she 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! BS and brilliance only come with
age and experience!
