A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in
Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the
company. One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long,
Cuddles discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard
heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo
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
leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one
delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in
mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the
trees.

"Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old
poodle nearly had me!"

Meanwhile, a monkey 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 leopard. So off he goes, but the old
poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures
that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard,
spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

The young leopard 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 leopard 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 leopard!

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.
