The Jack Russell

A wealthy old Gentleman decides to go on a hunting safari in Africa ,
taking his faithful, elderly Jack Russell named Killer, along for the
company.

One day the old Jack Russell starts chasing rabbits and before long,
discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard
heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell
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 Jack
Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 Jack Russell 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 the old dogs...age and skill will always overcome
youth and treachery! BS and brilliance only come with age and
experience.

If you don't send this to five "old" friends right away there will be
five fewer people laughing in the world. Of course, I am in no way
insinuating that any of you are old, some are just more "youthfully
challenged." You did notice the size of the print, didn't you?
