Now this is a good knee-slapper!


One day an old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and
before long,  discovers tthat 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
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 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!  Wisdom and brilliance
only come with age and experience.
