The Old Poodle

Forwarded by bayi

A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in
Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles,
along for the company. One day the poodle starts chasing
butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost.

Wandering about, he notices a young leopard heading
rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle 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 poodle 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
poodle 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 poodle 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 poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on
his backand 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 poodle 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 old people for age and treachery will always overcome
youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and
experience.

If you don't send this to five "old" friends right away there will be
five fewer people laughing in the world.
