A Joke: The German Shepherd

A German shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a grizzly bear heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. 

The old German shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in trouble now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching bear. Just as the grizzly bear is about to leap, the old German shepherd exclaims loudly, "Boy that was one delicious grizzly bear!  I wonder if there are any more around here." 

Hearing this, the young grizzly bear halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over his face and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!" says the grizzly bear. "That was close! That old German shepherd nearly had me!" 

Meanwhile, a squirrel 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 grizzly bear. So, off he goes. The squirrel soon catches up with the grizzly bear, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the grizzly. 

The young grizzly bear is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!" 

The old German shepherd sees the grizzly bear coming with the squirrel 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 German shepherd says...  "Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another grizzly bear!" 

Moral of this story...  

Don't mess with the old dogs. Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! 

Of course, I am in no way insinuating that you are old, just 'youthfully challenged'.
