[pct-l] Re: The old poodle

Marge  the Old Gal decides to go on back on the PC but this time she would 
take  her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along. One day the poodle starts  
chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that she's lost.  
Wandering about, she notices a mountain lion  heading rapidly in her  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, she immediately settles down to
chew on the bones with her back to the  approaching cat. Just as the
mountain lion is about to leap, the old  poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that 
was one
delicious mountain lion! I  wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the  young mountain lion halts his attack in mid-strike, a
look  of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
"Whew!"  says the llion, "That was close! That old poodle nearly
had   me!"
Meanwhile, a crow 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 lion. So off he flies, but the old  poodle
sees him flying  after the lion with great  speed, and figures
that something must be up. The crow soon catches up  with the leopard, 
spills the beans and strikes a deal for  himself with the llion. The young 
llion is furious at being made a fool  of and says,
"Here, crow, hop on my back and see what's going to  happen to that  
conniving canine!"
Now, the old poodle sees  the llion  coming with the crow on his
back and thinks,  "What am I going to do now?", but instead of
running,  the dog  sits down with her back to her attackers, pretending she
hasn't seen  them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old
poodle says: "Where's that damn crow? I sent him off an hour ago
to  bring me another lion!"

Moral of this story..
Don't mess with old  farts...age and treachery will always overcome
youth and skill! Bullshit  and brilliance only come with age  and
experience!
