Never Underestimate the Wisdom of your Elders

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 gun! Third gay rooster I bought this week!"

Never under estimate the cleverness of your elders!


Personals...

This ad actually ran in The Atlanta Journal newspaper:

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, race unimportant. I'm a very good-looking girl who LOVES to play, take long walks in the woods, go hunting, camping, and fishing and enjoy cozy winter nights by the fire.

Really like a man with a pickup truck. A candlelight dinner will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. Kiss me and I'm yours. Call (404)875-6420 and ask for Daisy.

Over 15,000 men found themselves talking to the Atlanta Humane Society about an 8-week old black Labrador retriever. Men are so easy.




Some comments heard in the year 1957

"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for $20.00."

"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $5,000 will only buy a used one."

"When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon? Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage!"

"I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying damn in "Gone With The Wind", it seems every new movie has either hell or damn in it."

"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?"
