The previous joke reminded me of this one.
A farmer has a bunch of hens. And he has a rooster, Old Red, that services the hens. But the farmer decides Old Red is getting on in years so he buys a new young rooster.
The new rooster is strutting around the farm checking things out and Old Red walks up and introduces himself. “Glad to see you, young fellow. I gotta admit I’ve been getting tired lately. So tell you what - we’ll split the hens in half and I’ll even let you take first pick.”
The young rooster laughs and says, “I don’t think you understand. I’m the new rooster in charge here and I’m not settling for half the hens. I’m taking them all.”
Old Red says, “Well, I guess I see your point. But could you maybe let me have just a couple of hens for old time’s sake?”
The young rooster says, “What part of all the hens didn’t you understand? You might as well pack up and leave.”
Old Red sighs and says, “I suppose you’re right. I’m old and my time is over. But I hate to just walk away. Could we at least have a little competition? That way if you beat me, I can at least feel I tried.”
The young rooster asks, “Okay. I got no problem knocking you around in a fight.”
Old Red answers, “Oh no, nothing violent. How about a simple race? We can race up to and around the house and the first one back here is the winner.”
The young rooster laughs and says, “Sure, why not? I’ll beat you easily and it’ll give me a chance to impress all the hens.”
Old Red says, “I suppose it’s true what you said about beating me easily. In fact you’ll probably be in the lead the whole way and nobody will even know we’re racing. How about you give me a thirty second head start so I can at least look good for part of the race?”
The young rooster says, “You’re on. You can have a head start and that way I’ll look even better when I pass you halfway and win the race from behind.”
So they line up and Old Red starts running as fast as he can. The young rooster waits thirty seconds and starts chasing after Old Red. And it’s clear that the young rooster is faster than Old Red and he’s closing the gap between them. A hundred feet. Eighty feet. Sixty feet. Forty feet. Twenty feet. By the time they reach the house and run around it the young rooster is only ten feet behind Old Red. And as they run past the front porch, the young rooster is only five feet behind Old Red and has almost caught him.
And that’s when the farmer, who’s been sitting on the front porch, picks up his shotgun and shoots the young rooster.
The farmer’s wife steps out and asks, “Did it happen again?”
The farmer answers, “Yup, that’s the tenth gay rooster in a row. I haven’t found a straight one since I bought Old Red.”
