A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken
coop. The new rooster
struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old timer, time for you to
retire."
The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these hens.
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 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 only
about 5 feet 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 go
running by.
He grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - he blows the young rooster to bits.
The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, "Damn.....third queer rooster I
bought this month."
Moral of this story?
1) You don't get old being a fool!
2) Age, skill, and treachery will always overcome youth and arrogance!
3) Don't mess with us OLD TIMERS !
