Stud Roosters

[LadyNoir]

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 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 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. He 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 this story?

Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age, skill, and treachery will always overcome youth and arrogance!

*smiles* I got a nice little laugh outta that one I'll admit. Even if I'm a young'n myself.

Remeber this tho; the old farts get slower, weaker etc. for a reason. Wheras us young'ns are faster, stronger and, at times, smarter for a reason. Our lack of wisdom and excess arrogance will do us in occasionally, but not often.

Kind of reminds me of Orson Scott Cards Enders Game series... excellent reads by the way.

You're right, but remember this, also:

If young people keep on living, they'll soon be the old farts that'll tangle with the younger "roosters."

You, I think, will be a very worthy opponent at any age. :)

I love those old rooster jokes.
