AGE
AND EXPERIENCE
---------------------
A wealthy old Gentleman decides to go on a hunting safari
in Africa, taking his faithful, elderly Jack Russell named
Killer, along for the company.
One
day the old Jack Russell starts chasing rabbits and before
long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices
a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention
of having lunch.
The
old Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 the old... age and skill will always overcome youth
and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience. |
