Silly Stuff
Thought for the week: No one is listening or watching until you make a mistake.
Doggone
it!
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet terrier, Sniffy, along for company. One day, Sniffy starts chasing butterflies and before long discovers that he is lost.
So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having him for lunch. Sniffy 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, Sniffy 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 slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says the leopard. "That was close. That dog 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 Sniffy 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." Sniffy sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, Sniffy sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet ... and, just when they get close enough to hear, he says..................
"Where's that darn monkey? Sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard."
