The mother got out of the car and said, "Thank you!"

The Old PoodleA wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking herfaithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that she's lost. Wandering about, she notices a leopard 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 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 lookof 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 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 monkey?!?! I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!"Moral of this story is "Don't mess with old farts ... age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience!

Building A Bridge (don't get all upset -- it is just ajoke. Folks are touchy these days, but here on DH welaugh at ourselves and everyone else. It keeps usyoung... or something like that. ts)The Polish were upset because of their bad reputation.A group of them got together and approached aconference of Americans, Germans, and Japanese andasked for help on this matter.An American replied, "You must do something so theworld will respect you. The Japanese are known fortheir technology and the Germans are known for theirresourcefulness. We Americans have had respect sincewe helped win the World War against the other two.See, you need to do something world-famous."A German added, "Yes, he's right. Why don't you find aplace in this world in need of a bridge that no onehas dared build, build it, come back to us, and wewill help publicize it."With that, the Polish set off to build their bridge.They designed it and worked six months and finallycompleted it. They then went back to report it to thegroup. The bridge was a beautiful bridge but it hadone flaw: it was erected in the middle of the SaharaDesert.An American said, "No, no. See, that is why you haveyour reputation. There is no need for a bridge in themiddle of the desert. Now go and dismantle it, andfind a more strategic spot to erect it."The Polish returned to the conference in two weeks.One of the Japanese said, "Two weeks! It only took youtwo weeks to dismantle that bridge and build a newone??? That is amazing!!"To which a Polish man replied, "Well, not exactly.When we returned to the bridge we couldn't dismantleit because there were all these Italians fishing offit."
