Pitty Party
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. So he bought a new rooster from the local rooster emporium and turned him loose in the barnyard. Well, the old rooster saw the young one strutting around and he was a little worried about being replaced.
He walked up to the new bird and said, "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 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 10 times and whoever finishes 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," he said, "and since I'm so great, I'll even give you a head start of half a lap. I'll still win, easy!"
So the two roosters went over to the henhouse to start the race with all the hens gathering to watch. The race began and all the hens started cheering the old rooster on. After the first lap, the old rooster was still maintaining his lead.
After the second lap, the old guy's lead had slipped a little -- but he was still hanging in there. Unfortunately, the old rooster's lead continued to slip each time around, and by the fifth lap, he was just barely in front of the young fella. By now the farmer heard the commotion. He ran into the house, got his shotgun and ran into the barnyard, figuring a fox or something was after his chickens. When he got there, he saw the two roosters running around the henhouse, with the old rooster still slightly in the lead. He immediately took his shotgun, aimed, fired, and blew the young rooster away.
"Damn. That's the third gay rooster I've bought this month."
