It was Saturday morning as Jake, an avid
hunter, woke up ready to go bag the first deer of the season. He walks down to the kitchen
to get a cup of coffee, and to his surprise he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully
dressed in camouflage.
Jake asks her, "What are you up
to?"
Alice smiles, "I'm going hunting with
you!"
Jake, though he had many reservations about
this, reluctantly decides to take her along.
Later they arrive at the hunting site. Jake
sets his wife safely up in the tree stand and tells her, "If you see a deer, take
careful aim on it and I'll come running back as soon as I hear the shot."
Jake walks away with a smile on his face
knowing that Alice couldn't bag an elephant... much less a deer. Not 10 minutes pass when
he is startled as he hears an array of gunshots.
Quickly, Jake starts running back. As Jake
gets closer to her stand, he hears Alice screaming: "Get away from my deer!"
Confused, Jake races faster towards his
screaming wife. And again he hears her yell: "Get away from my deer!" followed
by another volley of gunfire.
Now within sight of where he had left his
wife, Jake is surprised to see a cowboy, with his hands high in the air.
The cowboy, obviously distraught, says:
"Okay, lady, okay!!!! You can have your deer!!! Just let me get my saddle off
it!"
