One day an old German
Shepherd starts chasing
rabbits and before long,
discovers that he's lost.
Wandering about, he notices
a panther heading rapidly in his
direction with the intention of
having lunch.
The old German Shepherd 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 panther is about
to leap,
the old German
Shepherd exclaims loudly, 'Boy,
that was one delicious
panther! I
wonder, if there are any more
around here?'
Hearing this,the young panther
halts his attack and he slinks
away into
the trees. 'Whew!' says
the panther, 'That was close!
That old German
Shepherd nearly had me!'
Meanwhile, a squirrel 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 panther. So, off he
goes, but the old German
Shepherd sees
him heading after
the panther with great speed, and
figures that
something must be
up.
The squirrel soon catches up with
the panther, spills the beans and
strikes a deal for himself with
the panther.
The
young panther is furious at being
made a fool of and says, 'Here,
squirrel, hop on my back and you
will soon see what's going to
happen to that conniving canine!
The
old German Shepherd sees
the panther coming with
the squirrel 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 German
Shepherd
says...'Where's that squirrel? I sent
him off an hour ago to
bring me
another panther!
Moral of this story...
Don't mess with the old dogs...
BS, brilliance and skills come
with age; and will always
overcome youth!
I am in no way
insinuating that any of you are old, some are
just more 'youthfully challenged'.
You did notice
the size of the print, didn't you?
Remember: Old Age, Treachery, and
well-honed and experienced skills will always
overcome youth and exuberance!!!
