A
farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop.
The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "Okay old fart,
time for you to retire."
The
old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle all of these chickens.
Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over
in the corner?"
The
young rooster says, "Beat it! You are washed up and I am taking over."
The
old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around
the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken
coop."
The
young rooster laughs, "You know you don't stand a chance old man, so just
to be fair I will give you a head start."
The
old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes
off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young
rooster has closed the gap. He is already about 5 inches behind the old rooster
and gaining fast.The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the
front porch when he sees the roosters running by. He grabs up his shotgun and
boom, he blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and
says, "Dangit, third gay rooster I bought this month."
Moral
of the story...
Don't mess with us old folks. Age and treachery will always overcome youth and
skill!
