An old farmer decided it was time to get a new rooster for his hens.

The current rooster was still doing an okay job, but he was getting
on in years.  And the farmer figured getting a new rooster couldn't
hurt anything. 

So he buys a young cock from the local rooster emporium, and turns him
loose in the barn yard. 

Well, the old rooster sees the young one strutting around and he gets a
little worried. 

So, they're trying to replace me, thinks the old rooster. I've got to do
something about this.  

He walks up to the new bird and says, "So you're the new stud in town?
I bet you really think you're hot stuff, don't you?  Well I'm not ready
for the chopping block yet.  I'll bet I'm still the better bird.  And to
prove it, I challenge you to a race around that hen house over there.
We'll run around it ten times and whoever finishes first gets to have
all the hens for himself."

Well, the young rooster was a proud sort, and he definitely thought he
was more than a match for the old guy.  

"You're on," said the young rooster. 

"And since I know I'm so great, I'll even give you a head start of half
a lap.  I'll still win easy," said the young rooster. 

So the two roosters go over to the hen house to start the race with all
the hens gathering around to watch.  The race begins and all the hens
start cheering the roosters on.  

After the first lap, the old rooster is still maintaining his lead.  

After the second lap, the old guy's lead has slipped a little but he's
still hanging in there. 

Unfortunately the old rooster's lead continues to slip each time around,
and by the fifth lap he's just barely in front of the young rooster. 

By now the farmer has heard all the commotion.  He runs into the house,
gets his shotgun, and runs out to the barn yard figuring a fox or
something is after his chickens.  

When he gets there, he sees the two roosters running around the hen
house, with the old rooster still slightly in the lead.  He immediately
takes his shotgun, aims, fires, and blows the young rooster away. 

As he walks away slowly, he says to himself  ........ "Damn, that's the
third gay rooster I've bought this month."
