Safari with clammer 101
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%$%$%$%$ and brilliance only come with age and experience.
