Never dismiss an old man's quick thinking

An elderly gentleman in Cornwall owned a large farm with a huge pond in the back. It was properly shaped for swimming, so he had it up with picnic tables, chairs and some apple pear and plum trees. One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond and look it over as he hadn't been there for a while. He grabbed a 5 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 or make you get out of the pond naked.' Holding the bucket up he said here to feed the alligator.
