The old rooster

[iggy1966]

>A farmer goes out one day and buys 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 already about 5 inches
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 it... that's the third
gay
>rooster I bought this month."
>
>Moral of this story.... Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age, wisdom,
and
>treachery will always overcome youth and speed.
