An elderly man in Northern Mississippi had owned a large farm for several years He
had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice; 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, 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."
Moral: Old men can still think fast.
