The guys were all at a deer camp. No one wanted to room with Joe, because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn’t fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.
The first guy slept with Joe and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, “Man, what happened to you?” He said, “Joe snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night.” The next night it was a different guy’s turn. In the morning, same thing, hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot. They said, “Man, what happened to you? You look awful!” He said, ‘Man, that Joe shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night.” The third night was Bobby’s turn. Bobby was a wise, older fellow, with a reputation for not taking crap. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. “Good morning!” he said. They couldn’t believe it. They said, “Man, what happened?” He said, “Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Joe into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him good night. After that, Joe sat up and watched me all night.” With age comes wisdom. |
