A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new rooster strutted over to the old rooster and boldly said, 'O.K. old cock, time for you to retire.'
The old rooster replied, 'Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens by yourself. Look what it's done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?'
The young rooster said, 'Beat it. You're all washed up and I'm taking over.' The old rooster replied, 'I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop.'
The young rooster laughed. 'You know you don't stand a chance. So, just to be fair, I will give you a head start.' The old rooster took off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster started running after him. They rounded the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster had closed the gap. He was only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast.
The farmer, meanwhile, was sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he saw the roosters running by. The old rooster was squalking and running as hard as he could. The farmer grabbed his shotgun and - BOOM - he blew the young rooster to bits, then sadly shook his head and said to himself, 'Dammit.....third gay rooster I bought this month.'
