An old Doberman starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's
lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction
with the intention of having lunch.
The old Doberman thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep **** 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 panther is about
to leap, the old Doberman exclaims loudly,
"Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around
here?"
Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror
comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
"Whew!," says the panther, "That was close! That old Doberman nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a squirrel 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 panther. So, off he goes.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a
deal for himself with the panther.
The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel,
hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"
Now, the old Doberman sees the panther coming with the squirrel 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 Doberman says ......
"Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!"
Moral of this story...
Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and
treachery! Bull **** and brilliance only come with age and experience.
