Food for Thot

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his
faithful pet Chihuahua along for company.

One day, the Chihuahua starts chasing butterflies and before long the
Chihuahua discovers that he is lost.

So, wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his
direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.

The Chihuahua thinks, "OK, I'm in deep trouble now! Then he noticed
some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to
chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the
leopard is about to leap, the Chihuahua exclaims loudly, "Boy, that
was one delicious leopard, I wonder if there are any more around
here?"

Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look
of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew,"
says the leopard. "That was close. That Chihuahua nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a
nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade
it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the
Chihuahua saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and
figured that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with
the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the
leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says,
"Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that
conniving canine."

Now the Chihuahua sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his
back, and thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of
running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending
he hasn't seen them yet...

And just when they get close enough to hear the Chihuahua says,
"Where's that damn stupid monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to
bring me another leopard, and why hasn't he come back yet..."

Moral of the story?

1. Don't do "backbiting", or "backstabbing". It could "backfire" at
you!

2. Never, never, never give up.

3. In the midst of your trouble, do your best to remain calm and
think of a solution rather than panicking, and...

4. Sometimes if you can't dazzle them with your efforts and
brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit!!
