Never Offend (or Test The Wisdom Of ) An Old Man

Do U look like a “Peacock”?

Read on…. I bet u will laugh. Hehehe…

An old man was sitting on a bench at the mall.

A teenager sat down next to him. He had spiked hair that was red, orange, yellow, green, blue & violet. The old man stared. Whenever the teen looked, the old man was staring.

Finally, the teenager said sarcastically: “What’s the matter, old boy, never done anything wild in your life?”

Without missing a beat the old man replied, “Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I’m just wondering if you were my son.”

Morale of the story:

Never offend an WOM (wild old man). He may be a COM (cunning old man) or a DOM
(dirty old man).

If any of the following stories sounds familiar to you, it could be just a coincidence.

Story 1:
One Estate Manager was stagnant at his position for years because he had once offended his superior, trying to test the wisdom of someone who was older and wiser.
“Prove me wrong and I will promote you,” that’s the remark from his CEO.
He was finally promoted only after the CEO’s retirement from the company.

Story 2:
Another Estate Manager tried to please his Plantation Advisor telling him that he had spent nights of patrolling to chase away the elephants from intruding.
“Our company can’t afford to pay a watchman with such a high salary,” the Plantation Advisor told him bluntly.

Story 3:
When a Head Office guy called the estate and the Manager not around, the usual answer from the CC, “Manager’s in the fields, Sir.” In one particular estate, the CC answered differently, “Manager’s in the workshop, Sir.” The Head Office guy just wondered, “Is he a Plantation Manager or a Workshop Manager?”

Story 4:
During the Chairman’s visit, the Plantation Manager kept a tin of biscuits in his vehicle trying to impress the big boss that he was very hard working so he used to skip meals.
“Have you prepared lunch for us?” the Plantation Director asked him.
