A big-game hunter went on safari with his
wife and mother-in-law. One evening, while still deep in the jungle, the Mrs. awoke to
find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her
mother.
The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig
of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came
upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush,
and a large male lion stood facing her.
The wife cried, "What are we going to
do?"
"Nothing," said the hunter
husband. "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."
