An old Texas rancher owned a nice, large piece of land near town. It had a pond in the back, deep enough and big enough for swimming. Being how he was a man who liked his comforts, he fixed it up with a wooden table, a hammock and a fire pit for smoking steaks. He also planted some peach trees around the rim, where they’d get water and grow.

One evening, the old rancher got a hankering for a peach. So, he grabbed a bucket and wandered on down to the pond to see if any were ripe enough to eat.

As he came up on the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing. Then, he saw a bunch of good looking women skinny-dipping in his pond.

One of the women even shouted, “we’re not coming out until you leave!”

The old rancher frowned and scratched his head, “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…”
