An elderly man in North Carolina had owned a
large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice; picnic
tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees. The pond was properly shaped and
fixed up for swimming when it was built.
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. He grabbed a five-gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. 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 deep end. One of
the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!"
The old man frowned, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make
you get out of the pond naked." Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to feed
the alligator."
