Old Man

Once upon a time, there was an old man who was walking very slowly and old man-like. He saw a young man running towards him very fast, the way young men do.

The old man called out, “Young man, where are you going in such a rush?” The young man did not stop. He did not slow down. He simply yelled out, “Can’t stop. Free hot dogs.”

The old man smiled to himself and remembered when he had been young and foolish enough to run full speed for free hot dogs. That was the day he threw up on President Truman.

Moral: Same one as “The Tortoise and the Hair” except with puke.
