Don't Mess With Us Old Men.......


The strong young man at the construction site was bragging that
he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of
making fun of one of the older workmen.

After several minutes, the older worker had had enough. "Why don't
you put your money where your mouth is," he said. "I will bet a week's
wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that
outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got."
The old man reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles.
Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right, dummy! Get in."

Do you know the difference between an old bull and a young bull?


Young bull says, "Let's run down this hill, jump the fence and get us one of them heifers!"

Old bull says, "Let's walk down the hill, open the gate, and get 'em all!"
