An elderly man in Louisiana had owned a large farm for several 
years. 
      
    He had a large pond in the back bordered by a sheltering wood. 
      
    It was properly shaped and deep enough 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, as he 
hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. 
      
    He grabbed a five 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 went 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.
