I received this joke from an Australian colleague just a few minutes ago. Thought I'd share it with you. Hadn't heard from him for a while but he was obviously thinking of me:

An old farmer in Florida had owned a large farm for several years.

He had a large pond in the back paddock, 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 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 of the pond.

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 crocodile."

Moral: Old age and cunning will triumph over youth and enthusiasm
every time.
