A Parable for the young and brash
A wealthy older couple decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking their
faithful aged bulldog (Rennlist) along for company.
One day the Rennlist is out admiring all that is good in the world and before long he discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading
rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old bulldog thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some
bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the
bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about
to leap, the old dog exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious
leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the young orange-haired leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look
of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!",
says the leopard, "That was close! That old bulldog nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, Ryan the 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 old bulldog sees him
heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures 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 young 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 old dog 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 old bulldog
says:
"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me
another leopard!
Moral of this story...
Don't mess with old farts...age and skill will always overcome youth
and bull****! Wisdom and brilliance only come with age and experience.

Now hold on there, Frank. The term "old fart" is relative. To a 30-year old, a 50-year old might seem to be an old fart. To a 13 year old, a 33-year old is ancient. Gotcha!
