>> One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long,

>> The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing

>> chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the
>> leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that
>> was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around
>> here?"
>> Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a
>> look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
>> "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle 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 old
>> poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and
>> figures 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 young 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 old poodle 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 old poodle says.
>>
>> "Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me
>> another leopard!

>> Don't mess with old farts. Age and treachery will always overcome
>> youth and skill!
>>
>> Bullsh-t and brilliance only come with age and experience.

'Tis true. My treachery is growing. Tho I must admit, some of you (Markulous?) have me beat by a far site.

C'mon Markulous. Can't let a yank, of all things, agitate your delicate insensibilities. You may have to top yourself.

The expression is just "top yourself" with no "off" (and I've lost count of the times I've contemplated doing this!)

Delighted to correct one of you heathen over-the-big-pond'rs!

Off? What off? I don't know what you're talking about.
