THE DACHSHUND AND THE LEOPARD
A wealthy old lady decided to go on a photo safari
in Africa. She took
her faithful pet dachshund along for company. One
day, the dachshund
starts chasing butterflies and before long the
dachshund discovers that he
is lost. So, wandering about, he notices a leopard
heading rapidly in his
direction with the obvious intention of having
lunch.
The dachshund thinks, "OK, I'm in deep trouble
now!
Then he noticed
some bones on the ground close by, and immediately
settles down to chew on
the bones with his back to the approaching cat.
Just as the leopard is about to leap, the
dachshund
exclaims loudly, "Boy,
that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there
are any more around here."
Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in
mid-stride, as a look of
terror comes over him, and he slinks away into the
trees.
"Whew," says the leopard. "That was close. That
dachshund nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey 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 leopard. So, off he goes. But the
dachshund saw him heading after
the leopard with great speed, and figured that
something must be up. The
monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills
the
beans and strikes a deal
for himself with the leopard.
The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and
says, "Here monkey, hop
on my back and see what's going to happen to that
conniving canine." Now the
dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey
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
dachshund says... "Where's that
damn monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to
bring me another leopard!
REMEMBER: IF YOU CAN'T DAZZLE THEM WITH
BRILLIANCE,
BAFFLE THEM WITH BULLSHIT!!
