A feisty but elderly man had owned a large farm for several years and part of his holdings was a large pond on the far end of his property.
The small lake with freshwater rivers flowing in and out was ideal for taking a dip on any hot sunny day.
So in his free time, he fixed the watering hole up with nice with picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some surrounding apple and peach trees.
One warm evening, the old farmer decided to go down to the pond since he hadn’t been there for a while. Grabbing a big white bucket to bring back some fruit he started out on the long walk to the remote area.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing and there was much splashing and merriment. As he came closer, he saw the merriment was due to several young women who having chanced upon the small lake were taking the opportunity to do a little skinny-dipping in his pond.
As he drew closer, the young women were understandably alarmed. Now embarrassed and aware of his presence the youngsters scattered. Screeching, the nubile and naked women were aware of his presence. As a group, they swam to the deep end. Then, 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 cried out, “I’m here to feed the crocodiles!”
