Rooster Race
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 & 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 finish's 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," said the young rooster.
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
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......
"Damn, that's the third gay rooster I've bought this month."
