** Moose Hunters
Two
moose hunters, Wally and Jeff, from New Mexico, fly to a remote area
in Alberta, Canada. They have a fabulous hunting expedition and both
manage to shoot a large moose.
When
the plane returns to pick them up, Ronnie, the pilot looks at the
animals and says, 'This little plane won't lift all of us, the
equipment, and both of those animals. You'll have to leave one. We'd
never make it over the trees on the take off.'
'That's gobbled-gook and nonsense!' explodes an angry Wally.
Yep,'
agrees Jeff, 'you're just a cowardly custard. We came out here last
year and got two moose and that pilot had some guts. He wasn't afraid to
take off!'
'Mmmm,' adds Wally, 'and his plane wasn't any bigger than yours, Ronnie.'
Ronnie becomes cross as well, and snaps, 'Dang me, if he did it, then I can do it! I can fly as well as anybody'
Wally
and Jeff load up the plane; they taxi at full throttle and the plane
almost makes it, but doesn't have the lift to clear the trees at the end
of the lake. It touches the tree tops, flips, and breaks up.
Everything scatters; the baggage, animal carcasses, and passengers.
Still alive, but dazed, Ronnie pilot sits up, shakes his head to clear it, and mumbles, 'Where are we?'
Wally
appears dishevelled from behind a shrub, looks around and replies, 'Oh
... I'd say ... about a hundred metres further than last year.'
** Deer Hunters
Josh
and Olly are hunters and they are dragging their dead deer back to
their truck after a successful expedition. As they go they meet another
hunter, who is pulling his deer along too, who shouts to them both,
'Oiga! I don't want to tell you how to do something ... but I can tell
you that it's much easier if you drag the deer in the other direction.
Then the antlers won't dig into the ground.'
The third hunter leaves and Josh and Olly decide to try to do exactly what he has suggested.
Some considerable time later Josh says, 'You know, Olly, that man was right. This is an awful lot easier!'
'Yep, Josh, but we're getting farther from the truck,' moans Olly.
