There’s an easy solution: Ask your poodle !!! Read on…..
A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles along for company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a lion heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old poodle thinks, 'Oh, oh! I'm in deep s**t 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 lion is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, 'Boy, that was one delicious lion! I wonder if there are any more around here?'
Hearing this, the
young lion halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. 'Whew!' says the lion, 'That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!'
Meanwhile, a monkey who had seen watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the lion. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the lion with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the lion, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the lion.
The
young lion 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 lion 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 poodle says:
'Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another lion!’
Moral of this story....
Don't mess with old farts … age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bull bleep and brilliance only come with age and experience.
