A wealthy old lady decided 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
discovered she was lost. Wandering about, she noticed
a leopard heading rapidly in her direction with the
intention of having lunch.
The old poodle thought, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doggy doo
now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she
immediately settled down to chew on the bones with her
back to the approaching cat.
Just as the leopard was about to leap, the old poodle
exclaimed loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious
leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the young leopard halted his attack in
mid-strike, a look of terror came over him and he
skulked away into the trees. "Whew," said 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 figured he could put this
knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from
the leopard. So off he went, but the old poodle saw
him heading after the leopard with great speed and
figured that something must be up. The monkey soon
caught up with the leopard, spilled the beans and
struck a deal for himself with the leopard.
The young leopard was furious at being made a fool of
and said, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's
going to happen to that conniving canine!"
Now, the old poodle saw the leopard coming with the
monkey on his back and thought, "What am I going to do
now?" but instead of running, the dog sat down with
her back to her attackers, pretending she hadn't seen
them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear,
the old poodle
said, "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!
