An oldie revisited
A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful old poodle named Cuddles along for company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers he's lost....Wandering about, he notices a young leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old poodle thinks. "Oh no! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some old 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 the 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 decides 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?" and instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them and when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says, "Where's that damn monkey? I sent his off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"
Moral of the story....
Don't mess with old farts... age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill. Bulls--t and brilliance only comes with age and experience.
