Subject: Mon Funny- inspiring for the 'older' athlete

When it comes to the world of athletics, I tend to think of those of us 30+ as 'older'. Adult Athlete Onset syndrome and all that. Here's a little story to inspire those of us who rely on strategy and planning to beat younger and more able muscles.

A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, “OK old fart, time for you to retire.”

The old rooster replies, “Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can’t you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?”

The young rooster says, “Beat it! You are washed up and I am taking over.”

The old rooster says, “I’ll tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop.”

The young rooster laughs, “You know you don’t stand a chance old man, so just to be fair I will give you a head start.”

The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him.

They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is already about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast.

The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. He grabs up his shot gun and BOOM! He blew the young rooster to bits.

The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, “Dammit…third gay rooster I bought this month.”

Moral of the story…Don’t mess with the OLD FARTS – AGE AND TREACHERY WILL ALWAYS OVERCOME YOUTH AND SKILL.

(no roosters, gay or otherwise, were harmed in the telling of this joke.)
