*An elderly man in Louisiana had owned a large farm for several years. *
*He had a large pond in the back acreage. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.* *One afternoon the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. * *He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. * *As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. * *As he came closer, he saw it 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. * *One of the women shouted to him, 'We're not coming out until you leave!' * * The old man frowned, '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...'* *Some old men can still think fast.* -- With best wishes S Chander
