A wealthy old lady decides to go on a safari in Africa,
taking her faithful, aged poodle named Cuddles along for 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 him for 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!
If you don't send this to five "old" friends right away there will
be five fewer people laughing in the world.
None of us are old, we are just a little more "youth challenged"
than some other people........
