OLDER MEN THINK FAST

An elderly man in North Carolina had owned a large farm for several years.

He had a large pond in the back, fixed up really nice, along with some picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn’t been there for a while. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.

As he came near the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. When he came closer, he realized that there was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end to shield themselves.

One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!"

The old man frowned and replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked."

Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed the alligator."

Moral of the story: Old men may move slow but can still think fast.

Young people are intelligent and they think are smart but older people are wise and more experienced and therefore are smarter. Experience is the best teacher. Intelligence alone is unpolished diamond. Wisdom is polished diamond. So don't try to outsmart older people. U can fool some people some of the time. But u can't fool all the people all the time.
