A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.
One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost.. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading
rapidly in his 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, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a monkey 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 leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!
Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says.
"Where's that darn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!
Moral of this story....
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!
BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Originally posted by MathurineI was speaking in general. Xe/xyr/xym are gender-neutral pronouns. Very handy, both when talking about an intersexed person and when talking in general.

Originally posted by reader1107I think it would be nice if people would make up some jokes themselves instead of copying and pasting all the time. I have done so a few times. They may not be great, but at least they are original.
I always assume all jokes originally came from someone other than the person posting -- not that chess players can't be funny and creative, mind you. But that's just me.
Originally posted by NordlysSo why did you say it was a copy and paste?

Mokko would have assumed that you would have known that as it had no quotation marks, no link and no source then it had been written by the great writer xymself.
