The Old Lab
A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in
Africa, taking her faithful aged lab named Hershey, along
for the company.

One day the lab starts chasing butterflies and
before long, Hershey discovers that she's lost. Wandering about,
she notices a leopard heading rapidly in her direction with the intention
of having lunch.

The old lab 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 lab 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 lab 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 lab 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 lab 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 lab 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!
Bull$hit and brilliance only come with age and experience!
