One day an old German Shepherd 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 German Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep s*** 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 German Shepherd 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 German Shepherd 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 German Shepherd 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 German
Shepherd 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!
Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
