Old and Young Roosters ... nyuk, nyuk

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

 An old farmer decided it was time to get a new rooster for his hens.
 The current rooster was still doing an okay job, but he was getting on
 in years.  And the farmer figured getting a new rooster couldn't hurt
 anything.  So he buys a young cock from the local rooster emporium,
 and turns him loose in the barn yard. Well, the old rooster sees the
 young one strutting around and he gets  a little worried. "So, they're
 trying to replace me," thinks the old rooster. I've got to do
 something about this.
 
 He walks up to the new bird and says, "So you're the new stud in town?
 I bet you really think you're hot stuff, don't you?  Well I'm not
 ready for the chopping block yet. I'll bet I'm still the better bird.
 And to prove it, I challenge you to a race around that hen house over
 there. We'll run around it ten times and whoever finishes first gets
 to have all the hens for himself."
 
 Well, the young rooster was a proud sort, and he definitely thought he
 was more than a match for the old guy. 'you're on," said the young
 rooster. "And since I know I'm so great, I'll even give you a head
 start of half a lap.  I'll still win easy."
 
 So the two roosters go over to the hen house to start the race with
 all the hens gathering around to watch. The race begins and all the
 hens start cheering the roosters on.  After the first lap, the old
 rooster is still maintaining his lead.  After the second lap, the old
 guy's lead has slipped a little but he's still hanging in there.
 Unfortunately the old rooster's lead continues to slip each time
 around, and by the fifth lap he's just barely in front of the young
 rooster.
 
 By now the farmer has heard all the commotion. He runs into the house,
 gets his shotgun, and runs out to the barn yard figuring a fox or
 something is after his chickens.  When he gets there, he sees the two
 roosters running around the hen house, with the old rooster still
 slightly in the lead. He immediately takes his shotgun, aims, fires,
 and blows the young rooster away.  As he walks away slowly, he says to
 himself "Darn, that's the third gay rooster I've bought this month."
