An elderly man in
North Carolina had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large
pond in the back, fixed up really nice, along with some picnic tables,
horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly
shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.
One evening the old
farmer decided to go down to the pond and look it over as he hadn't been
there for a while. ; He g rabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some
fruit.
As he neared the pond,
he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. When he came closer, he
realized it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made
the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end to shield
themselves.
One of the women
shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave!'
The old man frowned
and replied, 'I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make
you get out of the pond naked. Holding the bucket up he said, 'I'm here to
feed the alligator.'
Moral of the story: Old men may move slow but can still think fast.
