I recently posted my recollections of a solo squirrel hunting trip from my youth. Thought you might get a kick out of it. www.smokelessml.info/?p=23#more-23You might have even had some similar experience back when you were "young and foolish". ;D |

Great story Chuck. It is funny how the most memorable stories are the ones that never go right.

Good story Chuck.
Reminds me of one I heard years ago.
A man was driving in the country and had a tire go flat. He thought: No problem, I will just put the spare on but with my luck it will probably be flat too.It wasn't flat but his jack wouldn't work.. "Just what I expected." he thought. Across a field he seen a farmhouse and started hiking toward it. As he walked he thought: Maybe this farmer will be nice and bring me back in his vehicle and help me change the tire. He might even invite me to eat supper with them and I am really hungry. He walked on and thought: "This farmer may be cranky and tell me in no uncertain terms that it isn't his job to keep others vehicles going." Thinking in this vein as he knowcked on the door a nice lady answered the door and with a smile asked him to come in.
"No, thank you, I just stopped here to tell your husband that he can take his jack, his truck and his unfriendly attitude and shove it all up his butt. I will find help somewhere else."

Then there was the guy that had a flat on the road beside the State Mental Hospital. Everything was going well until he was taking the flat tire back to the trunk. He stepped on the edge of the hubcap and launched the lug nuts all over the countryside. As hard as he tried he could only find one lug nut. Quite irritated and at a loss for what to do, he noticed a patient staring at him through the fence. He snorted a "What are you looking at?" The patient replied that he could take a lug nut from the other three tires and with four nuts on each wheel make it into town. The man said "What a great idea! Why would someone that clever be in the Hospital?" The patient replied "I'm in here because I'm crazy not because I'm stupid."

This is a classic for those who served or are now serving in the military....
A General Officer was briefing a group of officers and a Captain near the rear was repeatedly asking questions. Tiring of being interupted, the General said: "Captain, I believe most all your questions will be answered during the briefing if you will just listen." The Capatin immediately shot back with another question: "Sir, did you become a General by not asking questions?" The General responded: " No, but that was how I made Major, anymore questions?"
