The story of the young buck and the old stallion

One night while the young buck and the old stallion were eating their oats, the young buck started talking smack to the old stallion. "Oh you old stallion you have nothing on me. I can run faster than you any day." The old stallion warned the young buck to watch it or he would have to eat his words. The young buck said "bring it on old stallion, right now." Old stallion got up and went to the center of the pasture, young buck joined him with a grin of satisfaction, just knowing he had the race was in the bag. Ready, set, go! Young buck was off in a sprint. Old stallion set his pace. It wasn't long before young buck slowly started to lose steam and the old stallion came up from behind and passed him. But the young buck couldn't give up, he kept on going. The old stallion finished the race first and then slowly but surely young buck arrived at the finish line. Old stallion was very pleased with himself but those oats started to turn in his tummy and off to the backwoods he went. Young buck didn't lose his oats, but doesn't feel very well and is off trying to get better.
Why oh why does this competitive nature run in my men. Do you think they would learn, NO!! Young Buck (aka Brian) is plotting his come back after a week or so of practice he wants a re-match with the old stallion (aka Jeremy) Hopefully they will be smart enough to race before dinner.
