An elderly Louisiana farmer had a big pond on his land. He’d fixed it up nicely with picnic tables and fruit trees, though he hadn’t visited it in a while.
One evening, he grabbed a bucket to collect some fruit and headed down to check on the pond.
As he got closer, he heard laughing. He soon realized a group of young women were swimming in the pond. When they noticed him, they quickly moved to the deeper water and called out, “We’re not coming out until you leave!”
The old farmer shook his head and said, “I didn’t come down here to bother anyone.”
Then he held up his bucket and added:
“I’m just here to feed the alligator.”
Let’s just say the pond cleared out very quickly.
Some old folks still think fast.
