To my fellow "Old Dogs"
One day the old German Shepherd 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 German Shepherd thinks, 'Oh, no! 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 German Shepherd 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 German Shepherd 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 German Shepherd 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 German Shepherd 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 German Shepherd says...
'Where's that monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!


Moral of this story...

Don't mess with the old dogs... age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.
Of course, 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?
 
Nice Denny. I saw a bumper sticker that said,
"I carry a gun, too old to fight, too young to die"

Dazzle them with delivery or baffle them with B.S. Good read Denny
 
Denny... I've heard this one told a few times with the old dog being of different breeds and have always chuckled. I suspect you have a German Shepherd? :les:
 
Clydetz, I don't currently own a dog because we live in an apartment. We are fixin' to move (that's how you say it here in KY) within the year to a house that isn't in KY. I have raised Great Danes in the past and will have another as soon as we move.
IMHO they are the sweetest most gentle breed of dogs I know (and very intelligent). And at my age I'll be damned if I'm going to bend over to pet a dog.
 
Casper likes Great Danes. :1:

Great picture, Clydetz.

Doug, I don't write 'em, I just pass them on. I like your ending better, too. I lived in Urbana for 13 years and spent a lot of time in Decatur back in the '70s.
