Pride and Prejudice
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 anything. So he buys a
young cock from the local rooster emporium, and turns him loose in the barn
yard.
Well, the old rooster sees the young one strutting around and he gets a
little worried. So, they're trying to replace me, thinks the old rooster. I've
got to do something about this. He walks up to the new bird and says, "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'll 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 ten 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," said the young
rooster.
"And since I know I'm so great, I'll even give you a head start of half
a lap. I'll still win easy," said the young rooster. So the two roosters go
over to the hen house to start the race with all the hens gathering around to
watch. The race begins and all the hens start cheering the roosters on. After
the first lap, the old rooster is still maintaining his lead. After the second
lap, the old guy's lead has slipped a little but he's still hanging in there.
Unfortunately the old rooster's lead continues to slip each time around, and by
the fifth lap he's just barely in front of the young rooster.
By now the farmer has heard all the commotion. He runs into the house, gets
his shotgun, and runs out to the barn yard figuring a fox or something is after
his chickens. When he gets there, he sees the two roosters running around the
hen house, with the old rooster still slightly in the lead. He immediately takes
his shotgun, aims, fires, and blows the young rooster away.
As he walks away slowly, he says to himself: "Damn, that's the third gay
rooster I've bought this month."
If you have a favorite joke, please send
it to me. I'd be happy to post it on my site.
