It
was Saturday morning and 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 has many reservations,
reluctantly decides to take her along.
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. But 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!
