A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new
stud rooster to copulate with his chickens. The farmer
puts the rooster straight in the pen so he can get
down to business.
The young rooster walks over to the old rooster and says
"OK, old fellow, time to retire,"
The old rooster says, "You can't handle all these chickens ...
look at what it did to me!"
The young rooster replies, "Now, don't give me a hassle
about this. Time for the old to step aside and the young to
take over, so take a hike,"
The old rooster says, "Aw, c'mon.....just let me have the
two old hens over in the corner. I won't bother you,"
The young rooster says, "Scram! Beat it! You're washed
up! I'm taking over!"
So, the old rooster thinks for a minute and then says to
the young rooster, "I'll tell you what, young fellow, I'll
have a race with you around the farmhouse. Whoever
wins the race gets domain of the chicken coop. And if
I'm so feeble, why not give me a little head start?"
The young rooster says, "Sure, why not, you know
I'll still beat you."
They line up in back of the farmhouse, get a chicken
to cluck "Go!" and the old rooster takes off running.
About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off
after him. They round the front of the farmhouse and
the young rooster is only about 5 inches behind the
old rooster and gaining fast.
The farmer, sitting on the porch, looks up, sees what's
going on, grabs his shotgun and...BOOM! He shoots the
young rooster dead.
He shakes his head gloomily and says to his wife!
"Son of a squeak, third gay rooster I bought this week!"
Never under estimate the wisdom of your seniors.
