It was Saturday morning
as Jake, an avid hunter, woke up raring 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.
Three hours later they
arrive at a game preserve just outside of San Marcos, Texas.
Jake sets his lovely
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 the hell
away from my deer!"
Confused and frightened,
Jake races faster towards his screaming wife. And again he hears her yell, "Get
the hell 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 Texas game warden with
his hands high in the air.
The game warden,
obviously distraught, yelled, "Okay, lady! You can have your damn deer! Just let
me get my saddle off it!"
