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 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’re washed up and I’m 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 he 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 running by. The old rooster is squawking and running as hard as he can. The Farmer grabs his shotgun and – BOOM!! – he blows the young rooster to bits. The farmer sadly shakes his head and says,
“Darn…..third gay rooster I bought this month…”
Moral of the story? …
Don’t mess with the OLD FARTS – age, skill, wisdom, and a little
treachery will always overcome youth !
