An elderly man in North Arkansas had owned a large farm for several years
with a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so
he fixed it up nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts and some apple
and peach trees. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the
pond and look it over as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed
a 5 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 quickly moved 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."
Some old men can still think fast.
