> Subject: smart or what?

An old farmer in California had owned a large farm for several years. He had a nice pond in the back with a picnic table, a campfire pit and a lovely grove of trees to provide shade.
The pond was suitable for swimming.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny dipping in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the far end of the pond. One of the women shouted to him,"We're not coming out until you leave, you old Fart."
The old man replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond naked."
"I'm here to feed the alligator."
