A  wealthy old lady decides to go on a safari in Africa,  taking her
faithful pet poodle along for company. One day the poodle starts chasing
butterflies and  before long he discovers that he is lost. Wandering
about, he  notices a leopard heading rapidly in his  direction with the
obvious  intention of having lunch.

The poodle thinks, "Uh-oh, I'm in deep  trouble now!"

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down
to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat.  Just as the
leopard is about to leap, the poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one
delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here."

Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, a look of
terror comes over him, and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says
the  leopard. "That was close. That poodle nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey who  had been watching the whole scene from a nearby
tree, figures he can put this  knowledge to good use and trade it for
protection from the leopard. So, off he goes.

But the poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great  speed, and
figures that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches  up with the leopard, spills the beans and
strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at
being made a fool of and  says,

"Here monkey, hop on my back and see  what's  going to happen to that
conniving canine."

Now  the poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and
thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog
sits down with his  back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen
them yet and, just when  they get close enough to hear, the poodle says,
"Where's that darn monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me
another  leopard!"

SOMETIMES B.S. AND BRILLIANCE ARE THE SAME!
